Light over Girard, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As we were driving we looked up in the sky and saw the object in the sky. It was just hovering in one spot it looked like a bright light, it wasn’t moving or flashing like an airplane and it was too close to be a planet. Within two minutes it had disappeared. I have videos of the object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162566). 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 was driving down a road that went down a tall hill. From the top of this hill, I was able to see 2 flying objects, each with three visible lights. They looked to be about a quarter mile away. At first they looked like helicopters. Then both crafts began moving North when one suddenly vanished. There wasn't anything obstructing my view, the light coming from it just vanished. I started driving faster to keep the other craft in my sight. The craft turned to the left, showing me what I believe was the back side of the craft. After turning to this angle, about 8 lights were now visible going across the back of the craft. The craft suddenly rotated to the right. Now the craft was in a vertical position instead of horizontal. It began to move a little faster. And then the light from this craft disapeared just as quickly as the one before it. I continued to drive in the direction they were heading, but wasn't able to find the lights from these crafts again.
