Circle over Salyersville, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was standing in my driveway looking up and a bright, white, circular ball of light appeared from my left. The object went past me and then disappeared without a trace. There was absolutely no sound and it wasn’t very high in the sky, maybe 200 feet up at most. Appeared to be about the size of a beach ball. Very shaken up, never been a believer til that moment.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148398). 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.

After seeing them a few nights in a row, I began to pay closer attention. I was standing in the driveway smoking a cigarette 3 nights ago, and I had watched an object fly across the sky slowly (like an aircraft) until it reached the ridge line in the distance. It then hovered in place, the light stopped blinking, and it looked like a star among the other stars in my field of view. I looked away for one second to flip my cigarette and in that instant it disappeared from view (or so I thought). I then spotted the object hovering on the opposite end of the ridge, where it sat for several more minutes. After a while, I lost interest and went back inside. They have appeared in the sky like clockwork at 11pm every night since, and are continuing to do so. I also forgot to mention that I apparently lost more than half an hour of time by my perception when I came back inside the house, although I have no way to verify this.
