Light over Reedsville, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I rounded a curve in the road the object was low In the night sky about 3/4 of a mile ahead and off my 1 o'clock position and I would estimate a altitude of 400-600 ft. I pulled over and shut my motorcycle off and removed my helmet to listen for any familiar sounds of propulsion but heard nothing then literally as soon as I pulled my phone out and opened the camera app the object silently and slowly tracked towards my position in a slow hovering but not directly at me, it ended up coming up on my right side at approximately 300 ft now and as it neared closer to me I became overwhelmed with the fight or flight feeling of danger that was like nothing I've experienced before. Every fiber in my body started screaming for me to put distance between myself and the craft which I should mention was seemingly quite large (maybe twice the size of a Blackhawk).

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.
