As reported

Cigar over Jasper, AL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

It was shaped like a cigar. It had two small fins on it one on each side and was maybe 1000 feet up in the air. It was a very dark brown color and look to be maybe as long as two buses possibly and also seemed like a very skinny craft. It wasn’t very wide. I made a sketch real fast of it on my hand. As soon as I saw it, I will attach it.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177625). 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.
