Circle over Deer Creek, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Round metallic object very high in the sky. Stationary for about half hour then moved East very slowly. Ongoing and still watching. Looking at it thru a spotting scope and the object is still just a metallic circle and nothing that can be identified by any of us.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148017). 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.
