Formation over Ridgeway, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was taking pictures at Silverjack Reservoir in Colorado on June 18, 2016. My camera is set to “continuous high” and takes 2-3 shots at a time. This particular time, it shot two frames. The first shot the unidentified object was not in, the second it was. I did not see this with my naked eye. It was not until I got home and was going through pictures that it was revealed. There was no sound. We have looked at the photo, and we are unable to determine what the anomalous object in the photo is. It does not look to be a bird or insect, in our opinion. 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.
