Circle over Rand, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Very slow moving circle of light. Flew way to low & close to the mountain top to be a plane. One circular light large and bright - didn’t blink at all. Moved slow and would even stop in one place for a couple of minutes then move on.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149119). 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.
