Circle over MacArthur, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took three photos of the sunset on the evening of Christmas Eve. When viewing the pictures I clearly spotted a circle of lights in one picture. The second picture the circle of lights were now one large light streak going up. In the third picture, you can see two light streaks and three circular lights in the clouds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166568). 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.
