Oval over Huddleston, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Close to Smith Mountain lake. Observed numerous orbs and one "tic tac" shaped craft. Crafts where white/silver in color. The weather was clear (90°) at Smith mountain lake, near the dam. The orbs flew sporadically while the tic tac hovered in position at high altitude.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157746). 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.
