Cylinder over Wayne Lakes, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This was a small red cylinder. It flew maybe the height of a drone, but then went up into the atmosphere, there was no sound, but later about a minute we heard a roaring sound. It seemed low, but it could have been higher, my camera caught it under a star. It went West to East. I did take a video.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #159160). 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.
