A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were out walking our dog, we live near Otis Air Force base. In our neighborhood we walk a loop around 4 separate blocks and then we head back inside. It takes roughly twenty minutes depending on our pace. The whole duration of our walk there was a craft hovering over the block. It had some blinking lights so we thought it was a plane but it was hovering, and planes aren't supposed to do that. It was completely silent and motionless, until we reached our driveway and then it flew away at a tremendous speed, still silent. This wasn't the first time we have witnessed something like this, but this was the lowest, and it was definitely stationary. For all of our walks, I'll bring my phone from now on to try and catch some footage.

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.

At about 3:19 in the afternoon, 2 friends and myself were watching a sunset with heavy cloud cover when we all witnessed an object reveal itself as clouds shifted. A portion of the oval/disk shaped craft was exposed from the edge of the clouds. There was a red/pink colored band faintly seen around the object. This object was massive, maybe 30-50 times that of a normal passenger jet. I have a minute long video where lights can be seen making quick flashes at the bottom and around the edge of the object. It disappeared as it looked like it formed a natural cloud around itself and went back into the cloud coverage. This was below/ within cloud altitude. Bject made no fast or sudden movements. Seemed to just hover
