Changing over Fort Madison, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
So came out to smoke a cigarette and there happens to be a very very bright light in the sky. I pulled the my phone camera out to picture it and get video cause always better. This thing was literally the only thing showing up in both photo or video and after zooming in the object appears to be almost bouncing around in my camera view and is changing shapes although from the naked eye it appears stationary and same shape.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163684). 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.
