Light over Memphis, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At midnight a witness saw a very bright white light approximately 50 yards from his house. It was so bright he couldn’t look at it long at a time. He took pictures. It lasted about 3 minutes. It was in a rural area in between 2 houses in a wooded area.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179607). 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.
