Other over ((unspecified by witness)), VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object like a dim light appeared and went out and appeared again and flashed bright blue, was traveling SE and vanished. We suspect a nighttime sighting, and have changed the time to reflect that fact. We have attempted to contact the witness to confirm the time, but have been unsuccessful, up to the time of this writing. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147201). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
