Formation over Little Rock, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It appeared fixed in the black sky for 15 seconds. I was driving and couldn’t pull j er due to traffic. I rounded a bend and it appeared in a different area of the sky at the same elevation. It’s possible it was in the same location and just appeared to move due to orientation of the road but I don’t think so. Then it simply disappeared
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179363). 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.
