Cigar over Loranger, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object looked white . No lights. The end moving foward looked round. The aft end looked angled somewhat. No windows. No sound. It had a gray band that ran from the top to bottom of the body slightly at a angle going rearward just behind the foward end. Looked Large and pretty high up and was moving about the speed of a commercial aircraft. Was going West then slowly turned South. Clear beautiful day, no clouds. I ran to my house and got my binoculars and looked at it as it was flying away it did not any wings or anything else on it just looked round from the back. My Wife also saw it with me. I did have my phone but we were just to surprise and never thought to take a picture.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173135). 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.
