Cylinder over Sunnappee, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At about noon time Monday afternoon my father and I spotted a long, narrow, cylindrical object floating away from us in the sky. It was very breezy outside but the object seemed to be moving at its own pace. The object had a slight arc in its shape but beyond that looked like a large metallic pool noodle and at one point seemed to reflect the sun back at us. It was far enough away that it was hard to tell just how big it was. The object was floating away from us over a lake, we were watching from just behind a group of trees on the shoreline. Once the object passed from our view ( beyond the trees) I ran to the water line and looked up for it, it was gone. There was no noise from the object. My father and I have no explanation it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156985). 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.
