Other over Mt. Hope, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Noticed something that I first thought to be a star. I later realized that it had too much of a yellowish hue (reflection of sun?), and also moved in what seemed to be random directions. It would remain stationary for minutes at a time and then dart in different directions. It seemed to be moving too fast and changing directions too quickly to be a satellite. Have been watching it off and on for over an hour. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173087). 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.
