Disk over Silver Lake, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I let me dog out and after a few minutes she starts barking frantically, which she normally does not do. I go out and she is standing at the end of her leash, on her hind legs barking at an object in the sky. It was across the lake above the tree line and very bright making a "woo, woo, woo" sound, high pitched. It had white lights on the bottom and a dome on top that was pulsating red. It moved slowly and would stop, them move and stop and then it just disappeared. There was no trees in it's path and the sky was crystal clear. In fact the moon was very bright that night. Once it disappeared my dog was fine and went inside.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #159652). 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.
