Other over CALERA, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The flying object looked almost pixilated. You could see through it as it hid in the clouds early flying above and across I65. It looked at first glance like a mass of crows in a formation. But as it came in my field of vision, I could see it was one uniform object. It resembled a tree branch flying. But these were the wings of this craft. They were bent in various directions similar to crafts in STAR TREK. ABOUT a dozen very long arms extending from two cylinder like centers. It was moving noiselessly, fast, and purposeful. It seemed to be preparing to land as it crossed the field. I was awe struck. I immediately called my husband. This craft was not from Earth.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174022). 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.
