Cigar over Jeffrey City, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While camping, at about 9:15 pm, I was stargazing and saw a glowing cigar-shaped object in the north, about 10⁰ above the horizon. It took me a moment to realize what I was looking at. Then noticed it was steadily moving from the west to east and was completely silent. The object was horizontal to land and moved in a horizontal direction. I'm a 69 yr old retired Senior Inspector with the US Marshals Service.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171393). 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.
