Cylinder over Fort Payne, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was coming down Hwy. 35 when I saw a bright shiny object overhead. I watched it for about 10 seconds until it disappeared. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Then, it slowly disappeared almost like it dissolved into the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162177). 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.

I just got my Geiger counter in the mail today because I have been curious about these strange things I have been seeing that have also left strange marks in my backyard. I have been observing strange indentations in my backyard over the last year. There have been many indentations left in the yard and one in particular has left a reading of 113 V/m and .13 uT on my Geiger counter, which is, supposed to be an extremely dangerous level and concerning amount for an electromagnetic field. The indentation was left on a fence that divides my yard and the neighbors behind me. It was enough weight to bend the fence and nothing has fallen on the fence. Nobody has been in our yard doing work, but whatever it was, it bent the fence and left about a 4 ft. wide across indentation on the fence and in the brush against the fence. I haven't contacted anyone yet because I don't know what to do. There are also seems to be small footprints left leading away from the indentation that has left readings that can be picked up by my Geiger counter.

Each night for the last few months I have been capturing these objects on my infrared security camera. Sometimes, they are spherical in shape, but most of the time they are "rod" or "cylinder" shaped. They move a lot faster than bugs and appear to go through objects. I have countless videos of them. I am a former military policeman. I spent 10 years in the military, four in the Marine Corps and six in the Army, so I am a trained observer. They seem to be intelligently controlled. My camera only captures objects in 20 second increments. I have attached some videos below. I have over 40 videos. Please watch at slow speed!

We have seen these bright lights every day. Today, we caught it in broad day light and it was emitting some type of gas. We can't see it with the naked eye, just on our infrared camera.

These flying objects were captured on my security camera from 12 midnight to around 5 a.m. 1/19/2022. They were so fast, you have to watch them at slow speeds.

I've been seeing some strange indentations and holes all around my house. Over the last year, my motion detector on my back deck has been going crazy every night. It will come on and when I look outside, I would see nothing. Last night I was looking at my security camera and there seemed to be some lights flickering on my back porch, even with the motion light out. Normally, when the motion light is out, it's so dark you cannot see anything. Today, I decided to move my camera to a position that could see more up into the air and roof of my house hoping to capture whatever it is causing my motion light to come on. When I went outside to adjust my security camera, this thing was caught flying off. I didn't see it until my fiancé noticed it when we were checking out the security footage. I'm a little shocked to say the least.

Myself, my fiancé, and my son saw this red ball of light for about 20 minutes in the western part of the sky of our city during a 4th of July fireworks celebration for the city of Fort Payne. It did not move and it was red, red and round like a laser pointer. It did not have any other colors blinking at all like a radio or cell tower. I have the video.
