Disk over Gibson, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
1 shiny silver, slightly disc-shaped object that reflected the sun’s light. It could have been metallic. I thought it could have been some type of plane at first or possible helicopter due to it being closer to the ground than anticipated. I attempted to dismiss this as something known. Stayed in place for approximately 5 seconds and then immediately disappeared without a trace. It disappeared faster than I could process what I had seen. I contacted a close relative later that night and reported this UFO sighting. I was informed by the relative that the night before around 6:30pm in the same area they had witnessed an object flying straight up in the air which seemed to come from the ground.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160557). 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.
