Light over Logan, WV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright white circle appeared in NE and instantly shot NW, it was between Cesna and commercial flight height, maybe 10000-15000ft and size of quarter in my finger measurement, distance covered was about 4 inches in tenths of a second. It left a perfect white light trail its whole distance that all disappeared at the exact same time as the ufo. The streak was so defined and clear I could see windsheer around the object seperating the light from the object. There was no sound and this was not a exhaust trail like a plane, it was just bright white light.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175684). 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.
