Disk over McConnell, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Seen from old rt 10 on 3 mile curve. One disc like structure at high speed was witnessed to drop straight down behind tree line located between 3 mile curve and Rum Creek in Logan, WV. Both witnesses agree the disc or perfect circle due to rotation of UFO was a very light grayish silver color. Not chrome in color though. One witness states seeing an orangish red exhaust coming from rear end immediately before seeming to drop behind trees and hit ground. Same witness states after 1 or 2 seconds of the UFOs disappearance, a twinkling trail began to appear in UFOs path lasted very briefly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161140). 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.
