The report, as filed
I was returning home from work this afternoon taking 150 North toward Monson/Willimantic, just past the farm and saw a silvery-shiny looking object in what seemed to come off a mountain. I travel this road frequently and have never seen that object in that place before. I saw it for about 30 seconds before turning around and went back to see if it was still there - it hadn't moved. I looked at it for about a minute before deciding to maybe get closer or a better view but couldn't. I shrugged it off as maybe someone had a satellite dish on the top of the mountain or it was something man made. I took photos on my cell phone and looked at them when I got home and there is definitely some light reflection off of something. As far as I could tell it didn't move and stayed stationary. I couldn't see much of a shape from the distance I was at but I originally thought it looked like a planchette from a quija board, although it may have been oval or rectangular with rounded ends.

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.
