Unknown over Ashville, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in my bedroom and heard my dogs go crazy. I removed my headphones to hear what sounded like a loud, electric ringing and a quieter engine noise right above my house. It hovered for about 10 seconds then quickly went away. It didn't sound like a helicopter or airplane or drone. The floor was shaking during this too. As soon as it started to move my dogs went completely silent.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171200). 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.
