Teardrop over Richland, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
focusing my telescope at the moon I saw a black black craft that wasn't a satellite crossing the edge of the moon, It was kind of like a coke can shape with an L shaped top and seemed to be missing a square piece off the bottom of it. It was darker than space if it wouldn't have been crossing the moon I'd never have seen it. 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.
