Oval over Wake Forrest, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A clear day facing North East standing outside my car at the park grabbing my camera to go walking like always I look up and there's something that's bright white and from a distance I was gonna say a star but it was still daylight it kind of looked more oval shaped so I knew it wasn't a plane or satellite because it just hovered in the same spot, adjusted my camera to zoom in snapped a photo told my buddy to get out the car and he couldn't see it with his own eyes (he might have bad eye sight we don't know), I watched it with my eyes for a second trying to point it to him, but then I tried to fire off a second and third shot or get video, but then from visible eyesight you no longer could see it so I just snapped the sky in relation to where I was to paint a better picture of the location and height in these photos of the sky after, you can see in the top right still something is there where the craft was. Photos taken on a cannon powershot sx410 is, settings used ISO 1600, 16:9, auto focus was on, if it stayed longer definitely would have changed settings for more shots.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177611). 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.
