Cigar over St Clair Shores, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My coworker and I work at a daycare center and everyone morning around 8:30am we take a walk with the kids around the neighborhood. My coworker looked at the sky and said “look an airplane” and then she goes “wait, what is that?” I look up and we saw a long silver tube gliding in the sky. It was obvious it was big and it was during the day so we clearly tell there were no wings or propellers. It made no noise and it looked like it was flying on an angle almost. We were so confused and didn’t know what it was, so neither one of us thought to take out or phones for a picture. it then became blocked by some trees so we walked around to to get another look at it but it was gone. There were no clouds in the sky either so it should have still been in sight.

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.
