Circle over Bennett, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was a passenger in a car going to lunch in Bennett, Colorado. I suddenly looked up at a normal- looking cloud and immediately saw a perfectly round charcoal grey circle moving from South to North. My immediate impression was of a round object within the cloud. I was excited to see the object when it emerged at the edge of the cloud. When it reached the end of the cloud, there was nothing there. I did not see a round object anywhere else in the sky. I did notice a kind of invisible pulse or something a split second after the circle reached the edge of the cloud. The circle was dark grey and perfectly round. It did not change shape and was silent. At approximately the same time the circle was about to reach the edge of the cloud, I noticed a passenger jet underneath the cloud flying from East to West. The circle was approximately a third bigger than the jet.

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.
