Light over Cuyahoga Falls/Akron, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took the trash out around 1:10am, was about to get my telescope ready to view Saturn but noticed a light that was slowly flashing in the northern sky an amber to red color. I watched it for a few minutes, noticed it was staying in the same position. Called for my girlfriend, she came out, we tried to get video but by that point it started tracking East, still flashing but the lights were dimmer the further it was getting from us. It was completely silent, no chon-trail. Whole event lasted around 10 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157442). 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.
