Disk over Riverdale, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The strange disk just appeared, it was white but reflected the sunrise. It travelled in a straight path and was going incredibly slowly. There was no jet stream, no observable wings and there was no planes scheduled to fly through the area at the time of sighting. Our view was obscured by a tree, in which it then disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174946). 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.

My motion camera went off that's on my porch, thought it was odd being after midnight. I checked it and zoomed in and used the timeframe slider and repeated the first 3 seconds over and over as it was lightning fast. Video shows it shooting off from close to earth at high rate of speed.
