Cigar over Lincoln, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Today at around 9:30 AM, I spotted an odd flying thing that was white and kind of cigar shaped in the sky. There were no visible clouds or planes in the area. I was riding on the interstate a little ways before Lincoln, Georgia when I saw it. The object was just sitting there in the sky stationary, and a little light showed up beside it that looked like a star. The light and object disappeared almost as soon as I saw them. I looked all around in the sky, but they had vanished. I waited a few minutes, continuing to look up at the sky. Then I saw the object again, but there was no light beside it. The object had been on my right side and was now in front of me in the sky. This time it flashed slowly like a light twice. After it did that I was gone for good. I continued to look up in the sky and didn’t see anything again.

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.
