Cigar over Vick, AK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were hog hunting in a deer blind in a wide open field that was freshly cut by logging company. Deer blind faces north west. Large translucent white cigar shaped object flew across total view of sky horizontal to the tree line, approximately 200 feet above trees. Never seen anything like it and I’ve been hunting that land my whole life. There was another person with me who witnessed it, tried to record but oddly enough, phone would not work. Not sure on exact time, between 7:30-8:30
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172080). 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.
