Cylinder over Medicine bow, WY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

We were stargazing and noticed some lights coming over a small mountain on on the northeast side of our camping spot (#15 @ willow campground) there were 6 sets of two lights down the center of the vehicle and a single light at the tail end. It made absolutely zero noise as it floated from above the tree line to the opposite side of the campground circle tree line. We could see a shadow behind the lights of the vehicle that made it appear to have a cylindrical shape. The vehicle appeared to be big. And because of its size and closeness it should have made noise but it didn’t. The lights didn’t reflect onto anything and there didn’t seem to be a front vs back in regards to where a person would be to pilot it. We were next to a loud river and while the object was passing over all the outside noises stopped until it fully passed over us.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170698). 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.
