A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was waiting to leave a retail chain parking lot, I was sitting at a stop sign when I looked up to see something catch my eye. I t was almost as if someone had a mirror, reflecting it towards me from the sky, but when I focused on it I seen it was a circular looking, silver aircraft without a smoke trail. It reflected twice at me and when I hung the phone up to take a picture, it was gone. The weird part was after it reflected a second time, I felt the urge to turn my head and not look, but not because it was too bright, more like I felt I wasn't supposed to be looking at what I was seeing.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
