Cigar over Coco/St. Cloud (between), FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving to Coco, Florida, on Nova Rd south of St Cloud, FL, approximately 25 miles when I saw a cigar shaped object that seemed to be just above the clouds. I thought it was a plane at first but it started glowing orange like the sun it was small light then grew bigger to a real bright light. It took off like a gun shooting very fast projectile all this took about 2 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148409). 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.
