Oval over Gautier, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object was very aerodynamic cylinder shape that slightly curved into a cigar shape. It had blue lights all around it and the object was of a white translucent material and it had 3 windows. When I took the photos they were moving at high rates of speed but with no sonic booms. It would stop go up and down and around at 90 degree angle’s. And then it floated for about ten more seconds while moving forward and then disappeared behind the tree tops in the woods in Gautier,Ms it was pointed west and I was east of the craft. I saw the ufo in its entirety and I managed to snap some pictures of the craft. I live in an apartment building that goes outside to my patio I live on ground floor.

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.

On Jun 25th at approx. 12:38am I observed an extremely bright light in the sky traveling extremely fast. It was heading Northeast. I caught a glimpse of it for a couple of seconds and knew immediately it was not a familiar object. It seemed to be flying rather low in the sky and was brighter and faster than anything I had ever seen. It resembled a shooting start with a tail following behind it which could have been from the sheer speed of which it was moving. It was clearly not a plane, nor was it the reflections of headlights in my windshield. It was a UFO. [NUFORC annotation: Meteor - Probable]
