Flash over Canton/Jackson Township, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I did not see an object, more of a flash of green light. I was driving home from work at the time listed above, in western Jackson Township, when I noticed a green flash of light to the southeast, over the city of Canton Ohio. It was cloudy, after a bad thunderstorm. This was definitely not lightening. This is all the information I have. You may contact me if you have specific questions.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151442). 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.
