Changing over Lakeland/Nashville border, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was watching a plane cross the sky, a ball of light shot out from below the plane. It was next to the plane on the right hand side of the Aircraft, And it looked like it was touching the plane. The ball of light changed into a liner or oblong shape, and the light and shot straight up in the sky. And disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147507). 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.
