Cylinder over Gypsum, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At around 5:10-5:20PM on 2/13/23 I was outside with a coworker when I looked up to the sky and saw an object I could not explain. It was low flying in the direction of Northeast. White/Silver in color. The object made no noise as it glided overhead at a estimated *70-100mph* I pointed it out to my coworker as I was about to take a photograph. When I looked back up the object had become a speck in the horizon. Initially it was overhead. As I stated it was low-flying and made no noise. The plant where this was seen is very close to a regional airport. On 2/12/23 I saw a low-flying plane. With discernible wings, windows, and noise. The object seen on 2/13/23 had no wings. I have no idea how it was flying. Immediately after checked the flight radar. Which showed 3 jets on the horizon. Two to the east, and one to the west. These jets had visible trails, and one could be heard as it flew nearby. No flight on the radar showed a path that could’ve been the object in the air. I know this sounds like a hoax. It is not.

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.
