Oval over Schurz, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving on US 95 north towards Fallon. NV. A light appears, rotates a few times. The light is white. Then a longer light shoots from somewhere next to it. Straight white line into the mountain side. Then the rotating light disappears.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172617). 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.
