Cylinder over Carthage, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was visiting a previous co worker at his farm. he had a large dying tree next to his house that he wanted to cut down so he had propelled himself up the tree with a rope system and a truck and I was on the ground close send up tools using the rope system. I was looking up the tree to where he was roughly 100ft in the air when I noticed a white object decend from the clouds heading our direction. as it got closer I started yelling for everyone to look as it flew over the trees near by. I looked like it was landing in the cow field on the next property. it was solid white with no body lines or windshield and no engine noise.

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.
