Oval over Leavittsburg, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I witnessed a translucent oval shape in the sky. What made me notice it was symetrical angles within the cloud. It was as if it was blocking the cloud, if not for that you would never have known it was there. It appeared to be almost camouflaged. It was in the sky for approximately 50 minutes. It seemed to be stationary.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171278). 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.
