Unknown over Senecaville, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting around the campfire when I looked up and said, “what is that in the sky?” We all saw a ring of light that looked like it was coming from some sort of glowing object in the sky. The ring of light looked like a round cloud at first that was hollow in the middle. The glowing object started to move and the ring of light followed it. As the glowing object in the distance started to move, the ring of light in the sky shifted with it and looked more like an oval. Then, quickly, seemed to retract into space, because it just got farther away until it disappeared from our sight. My cousin’s husband works in the aircraft industry and he said it wasn’t a plane or a helicopter, but hadn’t seen anything like it before. He also said that there were no flight paths scheduled above us at that time of the early morning. My cousin, her husband and I all drew a picture of what we saw because we were all so confused and had never seen anything like it. We each drew our own description away from each other so we couldn’t see each others drawing. I’m attaching it to this report.

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.
