Disk over Lake Ann, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My brother, visiting from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, was taking our Golden Retrievers out for them to go the bathroom. He quickly ran in and said that there was something in the air. I looked and saw what looked like a drone shaped object. It wasn't an airplane or a helicopter because there was no noise. It hovered back and forth, from the right to the left for about 5 seconds when I got out there. The lights were red and white and were on and off from red to white. Then it all of a sudden disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148490). 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.
