Oval over Schoolcraft, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Very small and very fast white tic tack flew overhead as a jet airliner flew by in the opposite direction. I only saw it because I was looking at the jet flying by. It was between the jet and myself but couldn't tell what altitude it was but it was moving twice as fast as the jet. It flew in a straight line until it went beyond the treeline. I'm not 100% sure but I thought I saw it split into two objects.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172220). 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.
