Circle over Detroit Lakes, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When looking at sirus as it was the brightest star in the sky, I noticed one after another, a hand span behind each other in a staight line. My friend from Brainerd called me and was seeing the same thing many miles away. Another friend saw it at the same time in Indiana! A literal ring around the mid west!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153945). 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.
