Circle over Bassett, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went outside to smoke after dinner at my girlfriend’s house, I lit my cigarette then looked up to the sky NW area and noticed an object sliding across the sky, stopping then going again several times. It was white and grey with the naked eye, I was able to get video of it and pictures from the video. I just reported one I seen on the 7th but this one was completely different than that one.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179684). 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.
