A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking in the sky to check the weather & spotted an object in the SW sky very high over the tree lines. It was very bright & was shaped like a bird cage/dome. It had what appeared to be possible windows with white lights coming out of them. I jumped from one spot then as the light went out it seemed to jump up then down and left and right. I grabbed the binoculars and watched it for about 45 seconds. I ran and woke my husband up from a dead sleep but by the time he got up it was gone. I do live in a path of some airports but, after 28 years I know a plane in the sky and their flight patterns. There was no sound either. Very strange.

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.

I woke my husband up and he did see it through binoculars. It was a full moon and this object was south west of the moon. I tried to take a picture with my phone camera and my sony camera but neither one worked. Just weird...no sound either. We suspect that the object may have been a "twinkling" star. PD
