Light over Mt. Gildead, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving up 71 N from Columbus to Mansfield: Bright white light with beams of light from the sides and small green flashing lights to the side; hovering above the tree line off to the right side of the highway. The cars on 71 around me seemed to slow down to look but unsure if other drivers saw what I saw. After passed hovering object speed picked back up on highway. It was not the moon or cell phone tower. I could see both in my line of sight along with the object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150599). 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.
