Other over Bessemer, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was closing the curtains to my bedroom window and had my flashlight on so I wouldn't wake my wife. When I approached the window I noticed a *estimated 7 to 8 foot tall being. It quickly turned toward me and took two steps back. As it stepped back it seemed to disappear from a gray hue and I could only see the neighbors shed which was behind it from my perspective. I stood there with my light reflecting off the wall and illuminating my body which in hindsight was a mistake. After a few more seconds I turned off my light and watched for anything else. I didn't see anything else so I went to bed. I fell asleep and eventually awoke from pain in my head. It was a unique sensation that felt like some form of electricity through my brain. I was immobilized during the event and it caused pain in my teeth. It took I would estimate less than 1 minute but it felt much longer likely due to adrenaline. When it was done I could move again and could speak. My teeth remained odd feeling for the next day approximately. I can't be certain but I think there were long term effects on my memory and understanding/comprehension. A couple weeks later it was raining outside and the rain stopped over my house but was raining across the street. Then in about 2 seconds it was raining on my house again. I did not feel or see anything during that event.

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.
