Cigar over Alburgh, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My cousin was in Vermont on August 19th around 10 o’clock at night with her boyfriend and my grandparents. They were sitting in front of our lakefront cabin on Lake Champlain and they saw a bright cigar/disc shaped object hovering in the sky. My cousin recalls the back of the object having almost like a separate motor that ended up fusing with the main body of the object. The object emitted a bright white light the whole time and made zero noise. It slowly hovered towards our cabin then faded into the night sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171430). 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.
