The report, as filed
Took 2 pictures of the mountains and looked at the picture a few minutes later and saw a strange dark grey circular object I'm the picture. The first picture is was lower and then the second one was higher up. Looked back up at the sky and it was gone. We suspect a bird in flight. PD

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.
