Cylinder over Falling Waters, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object noticed through SE facing window at above the treetops from our house at 4pm. It looked like white tube/cylinder with rounded ends, it shot over top of trees and boomeranged off due east -Broad daylight. When object tuned east it looked circular. Grew hazy almost transparent looking before it was gone. My 17 year old daughter was right there but did not have her glasses on and did not see it. The dogs got very upset and were barking but it was most likely a reaction to my excitement when leaping to the window to get a better look. SO FRUSTRATING there was a person who could corroborate but she didn’t have her glasses on!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172475). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

No blinking lights, sound or anything. It was definitely in our atmosphere and was not a satellite, shooing star or aircraft. As I am a regular astronomer and can almost always tell the difference. I would estimate the hight at 80000 feet and traveling about 1000 miles per hour.

Starlike object which dissapeared very strangely.
