The report, as filed
May 29th, 2017, I was on a job in Menominee, Michigan. Supplies for my job had not arrived, so we ruturned to the motel for a day off. We were staying at the ((motel name deleted)) on the Bay which has a nice area overlooking Green Bay. I was sitting out there watching the boats and such and enjoying the nice weather and just in wonder at the beauty of the sights. It was a kind of cloudy day but not dark so I was watching the clouds and day dreaming a bit. Wishing my Wife was with me to see the beauty and such. As I was looking at a large, solid cloud bank, it suddenly was pierced by a shape I instantly recognized! Now I know it sounds weird but I swear it was the same shape as the Ships from 'The Invaders' TV show. Or the Haunebu that was said to exist in WWII. I ran to get my camera and got a shot of the cloud penetration as it was desolving. Nothing came through the clouds! It was if it was invisable but it left a very clean out line that I can still draw to this day. It did not form over time but just appeared in a blink! One second a solid cloud bank the next second the shape. No sounds, no vapor trails, no other odd sensations I could detect. Even the ducks swimming near by did not react in any way.

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.
