Circle over Fowl River, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband was checking on our boat, I was looking at full moon. I saw a large bright light traveling fast from North to South. My husband started watching, it was a bright round light, it slowed down eventually stopping. I was able to take three pictures. The pause lasted appropriately a minute. It started moving due East and progressed rapidly. We have watched the recent meteor shower. This was totally different and very bright, the moon is almost full, the brightness was incredible. Gulf of Mexico area.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149736). 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.
