CLAIM-216200reported
“The original Louisville airport witness reported a slowly moving object over the runway that rotated roughly four times per minute, alternately presenting a reflective cylindrical aspect and a dark diamond-like aspect before pausing for 30-45 seconds and ascending above the clouds.”
CLAIM-216202reported
“A MUFON contact at the airport initially said multiple Public Safety Officers had seen the object and had it on film; later follow-up said approximately 10-15 people saw something, while about 8-9 reportedly described a triangle.”
CLAIM-216205reported
“The original witness noted that nearby workers could not see the same object when he called their attention to it and suggested his polarized sunglasses might have affected visibility.”
Multiple claim rows are intentionally retained when sources disagree. ANOMALY does not silently reconcile competing values.
CLAIM-216204reported
“The investigation filed an FAA FOIA request for radar and voice recordings. The source excerpt says the request was still pending as of August 1, 2009; it also reports that an initially claimed film later was said not to exist or never to have been made.”
