Cylinder over Leland, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
was getting ready in my upstairs bathroom and can see out my windows while sitting at my makeup desk. I saw a very bright metallic object in the sky, which I waved off as being a plane but then saw red lasers (dashes not solid laser) being shot at the ufo. Couldn't believe what was seeing. This first "ufo" disappeared and about 15 seconds later a bigger, brighter, ufo came from the same direction this first one did. I watched it, blinked, and it was gone. I don't know what to make of it. I still question my sanity when it comes to the red laser looking beams that looked like they were trying to hit the 1st ufo. I have seen UFOs before in my area, in daylight and at night. This is the first time i have ever been certain that its more than just a plane. Weird. Scary, and I wish we knew the truth.

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.
