Light over Upper Tract, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 21:30 we witnessed the brightest planet type light I have ever seen traveling east to west. From my point of view, the light was in the same elevation angle as the north star. The light went past where the north star would be about 5° and disappeared. It should have been in the light of the sun for another 4 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163830). 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.
