Light over Wanatah, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was with my boyfriend driving back to my house and it was a clear night and dark outside, no cloud or anything. Out of nowhere I see this orange bright light that is almost like an orb just traveling at this high speed and I was trying to figure out what it was an as i’m staring at it out of the blue it disappeared like it was never there. No sound to it no streaks just disappeared and my boyfriend also saw it, one of his friends said that he saw the same thing that night too around the same time we did. It seemed to be just about the same height a plane would travel at.

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.
