A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a senior in college, and was walking northwest in a campus parking lot. I looked up and noticed a very distinct formation of light

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.

On Thursday, October 2, 2014, at 4:53pm, Pacific Daylight Time, I snapped the photo above of Stanford University's Hoover Tower from within the Stanford Quad. I was unaware of anything unusual at the time, and was not aware of the strange object which appears in the photo between the two left-most trees. I first saw both the photo as a whole, and the strange object in the photo, when I offloaded the photos from my camera onto my home computer on Saturday, October 4, 2014. The camera which took the photo is an Olympus Model VR-320, "HD 12.5x Super Wide, 14 Megapixel", although I had it set on a relatively low resolution, so as to save space and be able to snap more photos during my trip to California. Bird with wings folded. PD
