Light over Cambridge Township, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my back porch and saw a bright white light when I looked west to the top of the trees. It was 4 to 5 times the size of the larger stars in the sky. I thought it might be a plane, but then it moved sideways quickly. It seemed to "buzz" around (like an insect) and moved toward the west, then east again. I went inside to grab my phone to video tape it, and it was still moving around. My neighbors looked from their vantage point (after I texted them to see if they had a drone or something out, which they didn't), but couldn't see it through the thicker trees. I went upstairs and could still see it, although it had moved further west. It was still there and "flitting about" 35 minutes after first sighting it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155752). 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.
