Disk over Maplewood, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I spotted the UFO, which was to the left of me as I was heading west on Hwy 694. It was brightly lit and looked to be the size of at least one football field. I pulled over to the side of the hwy and took the pictures attached to this report. A plane had passed by west of this - didn't come close, and I could see the distinct difference. The UFO was very brightly light around the perimeter along the bottom of the craft while it was hoovering. It took off quickly as I was taking the pictures.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173096). 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.

I observed a UFO-Orb hovering at a distance in the eastern sky. It was white and seemed to say, "Hey, look at me." It was distinctly different from the stars, planets and airplanes that were in the vicinity at the same time. I have seen multiple UFO-Orbs from this location over the years.
