Circle over Sulphur Springs, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home at 7:15 pm after sunset towards Sulphur Springs on 300 north county road (0.5 Miles away from Sulphur Springs) When I noticed a quickly moving orange light to my left. The object was a lighter shade of orange perfect circle the size of a full moon. It moved to fast to be a helicopter or airplane. It moved too the left and down disappearing behind the tree line. There was no visible light from it behind the tree line. It looked like it landed however it might of just gone to far to see. There were no red, white or green lights like those used by aircraft, not a shooting star as it was to slow, big and had no tail. It was also not the ISS. The light did not appear to be attached to anything such as a larger craft. It made no noise.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174230). 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.
