Cylinder over Mentor Headlands, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband took the dog out and called me out there was a I'm guessing cylindrical craft( the lights were in a straight horizontal line) in the distance moving very slowly horizontally and it was changing colors from white to red, orange then yellow and back to white. From where we are it had to have been pretty large and the approximate location would have been over the mentor headlands which is on lake erie. There's alot of beach and nothingness out there it's a park and lots of wild land I guess you would call it, dunes, scrub grass ect. We watched it for a few minutes until we couldn't see it anymore because of the house across the st. We live approximately 5 miles away that's why I say it had to have been pretty big but we also don't know how far off shore it was, how high in the sky ect...

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.
