Disk over Empire, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving eastbound on 200th St. E / Vermillion Trail. The saucer shaped craft was hovering about 3/4 of a mile north over a field/marshland. The object was emitting a bright white light and was ascending vertically. There where no other indicator lights on the craft. After five minutes the object rapidly accelerated vertically. Within 30 seconds it was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147996). 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.
