Light over Mt Summit, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were looking at the planets and to the east of them a very bright light appears and moves quickly from the west to the east, stops and you can see it is circular with a bright white light around the middle then disappeared. There was no sound. There was a airplane heading west towards the light and was the size of am ant compared to the object. Once the object disappeared the birds started chirping and it was after 8:00 pm
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174962). 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.
