Oval over Hickory Flat, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In a clear blue morning sky. The oval white object was as high/higher in the sky than an airliner would fly. The UFO was moving fast with no heat trail. A military aircraft was following it. The most notable thing to me was the UFO did not have a heat trail. I was able to get a photo of the UFO but I did not get the military aircraft in the photo. When you zoom in on the UFO in my photo it seems to have a darker field surrounding it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175944). 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.
