A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object was perhaps 3000 ft. moving from west to east across and over TRAFFORD/MURRYSVILLE valley. My house sits high which made me look straight out at it, about 4 miles. Object was rectangular in shape with a white lighted spire protruding from top. A bright lit yellow rod protruded from the bottom looking like : - - - - - - (the dash being yellow light, spaces between in black, only pointing straight down from bottom of craft). It was stationary when first seen then moved quickly eastward. No sound heard. Weather was clear, no clouds.seen with naked eye then, 7x35 binoculars.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158904). 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.
