Oval over Wapiti, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object was spotted and was not moving at all for a very long time, then is slowly started moving to the left and then went straight away as it appeared to be getting smaller until we couldn't see it any longer. It was oval and glowing white. It was in the daylight. We looked at it with a camera and zoomed in on it and also looked with binoculars. There was a dark center or design on the middle of the oval. I personally did not get any pictures, but others did and I do not know them. Some people that saw it were tourists, but most of the people there lived in the area. Location was outdoors at a local restaurant.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148088). 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.
