Circle over Near Pittsboro, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I had just left Loves Truck stop off of exit 61 in Pittsboro, Indiana, On I-74 heading west. Once I got a few miles down the road. Somewhere near mile marker 50, I saw a round ball of light racing down from the sky. I thought it may have been a shooting star, except it made a slight turn to the right and shut its light off. Their was nothing obstructing my view and it simply vanished.

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.
