The report, as filed
My 13 yr old son and I were throwing frisbee in the front yard. It was late afternoon, around 6pm. I noticed something really high in the sky and started staring. My son asked what I was staring at, and then turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, that is really high in the sky." We both proceeded to watch it sitting still in the sky, and then after a few seconds, moved slowly, sort of drifting, to our right for a few seconds, and then disappeared. At this time, my son swung back around with excitement and asked, "Where did it go?!". I wondered the same and shrugged my shoulders. The object was round and very shiny, silver looking. It made no noise and had no chemical trail behind it. Very strange...???

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.

I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.
