Changing over North las vegas, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The craft was changing shapes between a dark/black sphere, cube and pyramid or diamond shape. It had a distorted field around it that you could see because of the spectrum of light around it bent by the sun. It would move in wave motion not truly straight. No noise and all air traffic seemed to stop before and during the event. After the event you could hear jets from Nellis Airforce base. Recorded video of the event. I have a longer video but your system says the file is too big. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178436). 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.
