Light over Madison, SD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking back to my home on my nightly walk. It is a full moon, so the sky was lit up very well. Is I peered to the left, something that looked like a shooting star shot up from behind a garage across the street. I have seen shooting stars, and this was not a shooting star. The figure was seen for about 5 seconds, and after that it was no longer visible. It was rather large, and had a radiant aura surrounding it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156903). 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.
