Cylinder over Fairview Park, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Tic tac object. Color and as bright as moon. Was width of a dime at arms length. Moved north to south at 40 degrees above horizon as viewed from skylight window in 4 seconds but had definitive edges with a slight hazy aura around it. No noise or aircraft sounds. Unmistakable tic tac shape. Followed ten minutes later by another object having a red light centered in a hazy white round blob. This moved first north and suddenly reversed direction to south-south east. Size of blob similar to first object and observed for about 6 seconds. Hopkins airport is near but these objects had NO running lights, wing surfaces or other shapes indicating convential aircraft.

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.
