A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving south on rt23 after just turn off rt34. I noticed the Sun in the east skies above the crop field and thought about how great that would be as a photo so i took images of the sun, realizing that my window was up and would probably make the picture not what I wanted I put the window down and took a few more images of the east sky. As i was uploading the images I noticed a spot, since I had changed the color filter on them to negative. I became curious and looked at the others and on the normal photos there is a bright green spot and you see it travel from the top of the crops up to the southern skies and then I had one out of focus but the shape was not a spot but looked like the planet Saturn. All spots were that same green and turned a black when in the negative filter. I was not able to really look at what I was shooting because I was driving though it moves in elevation while the shot is taken at a very close same position from my window.

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.
