The report, as filed

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.

There were 2 objects. One slightly above the Kroger store, rotating counterclockwise. It was slowly drifting east one second then freezing. The higher object was about 2 football fields above the lower object and was completely stationary. I couldn't see it through my camera but could see it with the naked eye. After a minute of recording, I couldn't see either object [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

7 White lights in the night sky. I couldn’t tell the shape of them since they were moving so fast and left a trail. I was looking to east. [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Probable]

I noticed an object in the sky . We live near the airport but this wasn’t a plane. It was stationary then moved to the side. This was the best of the two pics. I went in and called my wife to the front door . I showed her the pictures. We went back out and it was gone. The whole event took less than two minutes. I didn’t know what to make of it. I sent the picture to my brother. After he examined it for a minute he advised me to report it. I was afraid to be wrong about it and thought there must be some explanation . I have decided to report it because the image quality is very good. This picture was taken October 12 2021 at 9:00 pm. The bright light in the pic was a star.
