The report, as filed
Hello, Folks. I was driving east on U.S. 52, and at the time, there were no other vehicles around, and no homes in the vicinity, While driving on 52 East, I come to this very rural area, where I see this white sphere of light in west lane, about 15-20 foot in diameter, moving across the highway at a quick and steady rate, probably about 100-200 feet above the highway. I watched the object as it Vanished into the trees. Source of the report elects to remain 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.
