A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I go out to smoke when i'm at my sisters house so at the time described I was outside on her porch I saw a light in the sky and it was odd because there was light snow and low ceiling (2350) I found out later on the aircraft weather web site. the 1st object I had seen originated from north to south towards me then came to a stop headed east until out of sight the next was from the same direction of origin as the first did the same behavior came as close as 1/2 mile turned to the east and traveled until out of sight the 3rd came from a slightly different angle still north to south came to the same turning location turned and went east until out of sight visibility that night was 5 miles last week I seen 3 other objects that looked like shiny standard aircraft higher in altitude but no vapor trail that followed the same pattern

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.
