Oval over Charles City, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving west on route 60 about to come up on route 33 to get on interstate 295. So about 1 minute away from bottoms bridge route 33 driving west on route 60. I saw a commercial airline to the southwest which was bright because the sun was setting. I kept my eye on it while driving so I could make sure it was a jet. And it disappeared. I pulled over wandering where it went, and it never showed. The only explanation is that I couldn't see the clouds above cause the sun was setting and it flew right behind heavy clouds. If that wasn't the case, it was a ufo.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #165134). 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.
