Cylinder over Greenback, TN
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
I looked over and saw the object floating slowly to my right. I recorded the object and it left. Typically I would assume this is a plane or a helicopter. But for the object to be so close to the ground and not make any sound was what changed my mind. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176357). 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.

I was turning right onto Bailey road and saw three red dots . The dots if connected would make a triangle. I said to my husband you see that? He said what. I said the three red dots. He kept driving. So I googled it to explain what I saw. It confirmed it was an UFO

We where out side looking at the ice and watched for about 3 min before I grabbed my video recorder.
