Disk over Westmoreland, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was hiking through a field from a day of hunting, I stop to rested and gazed upwards into the sky at the crescent moon and planets, I notice a single cloud above me as well in the shape of an wide boomerang then suddenly a small ball shape cloud shot out of it, I thought at the time it’s just a cloud forming, but question myself whether I really saw it shoot out or was it just forming on its own, then it slowly started to evaporate and look more like a circle with brighter outer ring to it, no height that I could tell maybe because I was under it, then it changed shape quickly somewhat like a diamond and shot in a straight line with incredible speed like a streak of a shooting star and then I knew I saw something special and began second guessing myself always home.

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.
