Other over Homeworth (south of CX), OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Heading east on rt 172 just passed 183. Came downhill into valley and saw a very large object in the sky directly north approximately 1-1.5 miles. Object was dk grey but appeared to have white in it. Sky was light grey overcast. Object kinda looked like a 3/4 front view of a military destroyer. Hard line separation on bottom like the waterline on a vessel. The object rose up roughly 1/3 of its length then tapered back down for 2/3. It appeared for closest frame of reference to be about as long 2-2.5 Goodyear blimps ( which is fairly common to see in the canton/Akron area. This was not the blimp. Saw object for approximately 10secs as I slowed way down. No spot to pull off. Went out of view for 5-7 seconds as I pulled onto side road and came over a small hill(40’ rise). Object was completely gone. Noticed no movement from object while in sight nor any noticeable sound. Rough location would be 3/4 mile east of 183 , north of 172 1-1.5 miles and approximately 3.5 miles due south of homeworth Ohio. This is a route I drove every day for 4yrs straight and again for the last 5 months.

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.
