The report, as filed
It was lunchtime and I was driving northeast to my daughter's house, and off to the west, I spotted a cigar-shaped object. There were no wings or protrusions on it, just cigar-shaped and either off-white or a very light silver. Witness elects to remain totally 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.

At approximately 06:11, on 12/10/19, I stepped out to smoke a cigarette, like I do every morning. I looked up to catch sight of the meteor shower, and to look for satellites. This is something I do every morning, when getting my kids ready for school. As I watched, I noticed what I thought was a satellite going from the North West, to the South West. I then saw another, behind it. I thought I was lucky, and able to see 2 satellites at the same time. I then noticed, that there were a string of them ahead of the 2 that I originally saw. They kept "popping" out of the sky in the same spot, and going off into the horizon. I started counting, and looked closer at them through a pair of binoculars. They were Oval in shape from what I could see, No flashing lights, just what seemed to be a reflection of sunlight. I couldn't get a very clear view of them through the binoculars, and wished I had a better way of seeing them. There were over 100 that I saw, but they were already flying over when I went out, so I don't know exactly how many there were. My neighbor came home, and I asked her to look up. She also saw them. Starlink would not have them joining in the formation from the sides, like some of them were doing.

The object had four light for each corner. Three red and one yellow/orange. It looked like there was a faint grey outline of the whole thing. It was going over slowly, then sped up quickly and finally just faded altogether. It wasn't dark out yet, the sun was just starting to go down.

The duration of time only lasted a few seconds. I know this wasn't a meteor or Comet because it had no tail.
