Cigar over Arrington, Tennessee, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One black, cigar-shaped object floating high in the sky off of Interstate I-40 in Arrington TN at sunset. Observers witnessed one blinking light and white smoke stream coming from the craft, but it did not seem to move further into the air even after 20 minutes. One observer collected video evidence for two minutes with decent visibility.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173622). 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.
