Disk over Cross Plains, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were coming out of the house to walk downtown to a restaurant and noticed a very unusual looking shape in the sky above our house. We have never seen a formation in the sky like this, nor could we find any like it on the internet. It appears like there is a spacecraft behind the clouds. It moved very slow to the south and then suddenly stopped moving and sat stationary. After taking several photos and video of this strange formation it was gone 30 minutes later.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149174). 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.
