Changing over Clermont/Montverde, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
8/26 returning from dinner with friends ( we don’t drink). My husband Tom and I turned off rt 27N onto Hook St made a left onto N Hancock and a right onto SR50 east on Clermont. Tom was driving D I looked up this diamond shaped object glowing a deep golden color it was fairly close. I pointed it out to Tom and asked if he thought it was a UFO? He said he’d never seen one but it could be. As I watched it seemed to turn counterclockwise very slowly changing from the diamond shape to a cylinder to a small circle then it disappeared. It didn’t go forward or backward it seemed to rotate in place before disappearing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177824). 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.
