The report, as filed
It was about 08:00 on July 29, 2018 when I took my dog for a walk in a produce field that is next to my residence. When I walked to the trail, I passed railroad tracks that bridged a drainage ditch. There I seen and balloon like shape raise from a tree that lined the trail and drainage ditch. As I walked I noticed that the balloon was hovering and warping. I watch for 5 to 10 minutes, before I realized that it wasn't a balloon, and pulled out my cellphone to video tape the object. As I video taped I voiced what was happening. I followed the hovering object from the produce field, across the ditch then back to the field. The object hovered up and down while mutating. The object hovered straight over me for 5 minutes as it hovered to the field from the ditch. At that point my cellphone wouldnt let me take pictures or video anymore. After 5 or 10 minutes then I could film my 2nd video. I kept watching while the object enter the middle of the field, when my dog bumped me and I look away and look back then the object was gone. The incident happened for 30 to 40 minutes. The night before in the early morning there was a power surge on the street and my house was to be left out for 15 minutes longer. After the incident i couldn't use my debit card, it was demagnetized at the meat market down the street.

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.
