Cylinder over Schoolcraft, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
6 lights in a string spanning the sky leaning against the horizon at a 15 -20 degree angle. It appeared to be spinning. As one light would fade out another would appear at the other end -spinning. It was huge. I have no idea how to guess how huge. It was dark night but clear. All that could be seen were the lights.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151851). 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.
