Disk over Bismarck North Dakota, ND
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I review my camera clips in the morning. The movement seemingly towards our location set of the camera as it is triggered by motion. It appeared to move in and stop. While it appeared over a house north of me I’m sure it was very far away. Near the end of clip you can see it triggered someone’s back light a bit to the west. I have never before or since seen anything similar on my cameras.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170102). 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.
