Cigar over Chokoloskee, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Moved very slow, lights moving on the side. Took one picture, but missed it. Flying low enough as the trees blocked my view. So I ran to the water's edge and it never came out. My wife saw it longer then I did because I ran back in the house to get my phone. Than I took one picture and only got the bright light behind it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174460). 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.
