The report, as filed
Last night (July 7, 2014) sometime around midnight, I was watering the garden. There is a clear view of the mountains from the garden and I looked over and saw what looked like a shooting star, though it was bright green, fall behind the mountain. It was very bright. As I was staring at the spot where it disappeared, a large craft of some kind, with blinking red lights, slowly moved to the left, appearing to hesitate in mid air for brief seconds, then proceed again slowly to the left. It appeared to possibly be a round craft. The only lights present were red. It was very close to the top of the mountain and made no sound. It appeared to be quite large, though it is difficult to gauge its size from my mountain, across the little valley. I left the scene before it disappeared. The duration was several minutes.

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.
