The report, as filed
Driving back roads going home, car in front of me hit their brakes, thought to myself, what are they doing... then I saw it... Boomerang shaped, bright lights, Huge, flying at treetop level. Changed direction, than disappeared, freaked me out, then I saw it again, right to my left.. again slow n treetop level... no flight pattern... hovered.. then it would disappear... 20 minutes this went on, got to my home... my son came out n saw it.. just hovering and then disappeared, we watched it an additional 15 or so minutes, , he got creeped out.. we went in house... ..new military aircraft? I know what I saw!!!! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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.
