The report, as filed
As my wife and I we're walking back to our car after getting dinner, it just so happens I was looking up and noticed a bright light flying from my 6 (behind) towards my 12 (in front). It was flying low, because there were planes also in the sky. The planes were normal commercial air craft; that was unmistakable they seemed to be flying at normal altitude. As this bright light flew past at an amazing speed it just disappeared... there was no sounds Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
