The report, as filed
As I was traveling south on rte 236 in Eliot, Me, I saw in the distance what appeared to be a BIG plane traveling with 1 with pointing to the ground, and the other straight up.. I thought it was the airforce doing some kind of fancy manuever.It was silverish. As I am getting closer to the Eliot DPW barn, I saw that it was not moving foreward but turning right side up.. As soon as it was " normal ", it dissapeared... As I got to the Eliot Mall intersection, I saw that the sky was 100% clear of anything.

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.
