The report, as filed
On October 29th, 2016, at approximately 1030 hours. I was out on the fiel, with my nephew in-law, and shooting arrows at a target, when I noticed a dark grayish, round, flat object and the size of a plane from nose to tail, in the sky above us. The object was moving north at a speed greater than that of a passenger plane. Once I saw it, it flew for about 10 more seconds, and then it disappeared. There were no clouds in the area, only to the far west. On these sightings, I only had my low quality phone, and unable to get a good picture of it and I don't have a camera. When I did take it with my phone, it was to blurred, and unable to get a quality zoom (looks like dirt on my phone lens). There have been many other sightings on this beautiful, wide-opened reservation and filled with flat area, canyons, and undiscovered, hidden areas. It's friends and relatives that just have no one to tell or report to anyone.

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.
