A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking out of my house to take out the trash, suddenly I saw a bright light almost like lightening that appeared close to me but it wasn’t, as I focused I saw a small blinking light almost as if it was on fire, it looked like it was a v shape, and as the lights blinked it appeared to be a translucent craft or maybe it was the fast lights, it was moving too fast to be a plane, the movements were almost as if someone was pointing a laser pointer so it was not a shooting star. Ironically soon after, my ring neighbors reported a loud “boom” in the area
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166092). 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.
