Oval over West Liberty, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I heard what I thought was a normal aircraft, but very loud. I searched the sky and saw nothing, then suddenly saw an object moving amazingly fast. I could not easily track it with my eyes, then it turned at an at least 45 degree angle with no slow down, then disappeared. It moved too quickly to get video on my phone (I was reaching for it while trying to not lose the visual).
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164243). 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.
