Unknown over French River, ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two stargazers were drawn to one star in the night sky. Watched the star for 2 minutes, while it slowly became brighter and brighter eventually being brighter than any star, then suddenly it let out a bright flash, and then zoomed off in a straight line until out of sight. Some confusion whether it was the evening of September 2nd or September 3rd.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178232). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Canadian military and radar records answer to the Access to Information Act; historic UFO files are held by Library and Archives Canada. 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.
