Egg over lakewood, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Simply put… clouds at 27,000 feet. Thunderstorm east denver. Clouds bright white. Admiring the clouds/storm as we drove we noticed a dark object at the top of the cloud as if it was suckling on the cloud. We watched as we drove and both thought it was a ufo. Watched then just vanished. Loved it! Looked like a Leech on your leg (should u have ever had a Leech on ur leg). Second sighting in a year with thunderstorms.. There was a Tornado warning at that moment in eastern Denver. Fun true and real. We had just heard on TV that the cloud storm was at 27,000 feet.. That’s how we knew. Always watch big storms.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170766). 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.
