Unknown over Brook Highland, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Going to pick up my girlfriend who works at the Summit shopping center. I ended up taking a video of a bright, rapidly color changing object in the far distance moving across the sky in the direction of lake purdy. After the video ends the object continues to fly and appears to land behind the ridge at lake purdy.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173823). 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.
