Circle over Graettinger, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Son driving home- in the country. He saw a circular shape rotating with 3 bright lights. The lights were also circulating. The object was following him, and he was driving a pick up with cab lights pulling a trailer with lights also. We felt the object was intrigued by this and followed him. He called us and asked if we were watching it, and when we went to the window to look it shot off to the SE extremely fast and disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152697). 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.
