Light over Bancroft, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving at night on 69 going east. I had just approached the Bancroft 1 mile exit sign when I saw a bright light falling out of the sky at super sonic speed. Within 3 seconds it had disappeared and seemed to have fallen in a field to the right side of my car. It looked like it fell about a mile ahead of where my car was driving at the time. But also wondering if it could of appeared closer than it actually was. Too fast to tell.

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.
