Cigar over Mexican Hat, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was car camping by myself on vacation at the Valley of the Gods. I noticed what looked like a plane at first but after watching it it was moving much too slow and was too long to be a plane. There was no trail coming from the object. The object slowly moved across the sky for about 5 minutes. I had to get ready for bed so I did not see how it left. I do have a picture and video of object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168089). 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.
