Unknown over Richmond, ky, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving in Richmond, KY headed to Lake Reba when I saw an extremely bright light- what seemed to be a reflection off of an aircraft-in a very clear blue sky. I thought it may have been the reflection of a jet plane, but as I watched it abruptly disappeared. I instantly tried to see what kind of plane it was but there was nothing. It's like it blinked out. I pay attention to detail. I worked as a construction estimator working on blueprints for 12 years and at the railroad in and out of the tower so I had to always be aware.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170400). 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.
