Light over Wellston, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It made me think of the China satellite in China. At first we thought it was a shooting star. But the light repeated the same pattern from the same start point to the same end point at least 8-10 times. It didn't move that fast. And was faint. And when the faint cloud seem to pass we could no longer see it. It was a consistent and purposeful duration. I think a laser from a satellite.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179076). 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.
