A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

While driving on Interstate 90 on a mostly sunny morning on April 21, 2019 (Easter Sunday) at about 8:15am. I was the passenger and was watching a small jet flying above the mountains in the same direction as we were going. It was obviously moving much faster and was increasingly going further east with each second. It was leaving a short jet condensation trail that quickly evaporated. Suddenly I saw a bright reflection off of a second aircraft that was flanking the jet and in what could be considered the “driver’s side blind spot” which was on the left side of the jet but behind it. Neither I, nor my spouse, could see the outline shape of the second flying craft, but could only see it as a “spot” of sun glaring off something metallic. It had just suddenly appeared in the sky and was keeping exact pace with the fast moving jet, HOWVER, it was not leaving any condensation trail behind it like the jet was. It doesn’t seem reasonable that it could have be! en a non-jet engine plane due to its speed. After a minute, both aircraft disappeared behind clouds in the eastern sky on the Idaho Montana border south of I-90. 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.
