Circle over Crowley, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving about 2-3 miles EB out of Crowley, CO on HWY 96 at my 11:00 position I saw a hazy circular craft hovering at a slow clip (maybe 70MPH) at an altitude of about 500'. Saw craft for about 3-4 seconds, then craft jetted upwards at a 45 degree angle into the atmosphere at a high rate of speed and was gone. I tried to flag the car in front of me down to verify what I had seen with no luck.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160493). 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.
