Cigar over Teerre Haute, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This unknown orange glowing object became apparent as I was taking photos and video of what I think was either space debris or a meteor. This other unidentified cigar shape was hovering more west of the meteor and just to the left. I then took my eyes off of it for a few seconds and then noticed it had quickly moved way to the south on the horizon silently. I have pictures and video of both anomalies. Thanks for helping me find out what they might be and if others have reported them!

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.
