Circle over Cuyahoga falls, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A local news agency reported on facebook that something made a flash and boom. A person responded to the post with a picture of an object they saw outside of their kitchen window. They said it hung around for 20 minutes then faded away. The person who reported no other details. I gave them your web address, but am making sure it gets reported. I am uploading a photo of the original post by the news agency and the photo the person posted. I am also uploading a close up of the photo.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174669). 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.
