Disk over Newton Township, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a bright flash of light to my left. I kept watching the sky. My wife and I saw a disk shaped object with lights that would dim then get really bright. It was hovering for a moment over the forest before floating on. I picked up my phone and captured a video. Not the best quality. But you can definitely see it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163853). 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.
