Cylinder over Hathorne, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking east I saw a white reflective cylinder moving very slowly to the East. It had no control surfaces, higher and larger than planes. Twice as high as commercial aircraft. It did have a reddish/goldish reflection toward the south side of the object. At the hight it was, it must have been a massive object. It took about 8 minutes to move out of our vision, with binoculars.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167691). 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.
