Unknown over Lanesville, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A huge, white streak flew across the sky above my house. The size of the streak was so big, imagine a “buss” sized streak. It lasted for a second. It was obvious that it was flying through the sky at a really low altitude. It had a trail but it wasn’t a burning tail. The trail was best way to describe it trying to catch up. Also the object had no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170973). 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.
