Cylinder over Eugene, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Cloudless, clear and calm morning. Stepped outside onto my patio. Spotted this Tic Tac UFO over my roof line. Guesstimated to be 100ft elevation, 100 yards away. Guesstimated size is 12 ft length, 5 ft diameter. Pure white with no seams, rivets, appendages, exhaust, sound ... just a cylinder of white that remained motionless. After about 10 seconds of observation, I moved to my back yard to get a closer view, but this move blocked my view with my house being in line of sight. Once I made it to a better and closer vantage point, (about 10 seconds later0, it was no where to be seen. I did not have any imaging on hand, so no evidence is available.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172192). 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.
