Cigar over Kingsville, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While my family was driving, they saw six lights suddenly appear in the sky. The lights were very bright. They appeared, had a small, bright light tail, and then suddenly disappeared. We have 12 photos.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174020). 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.
