The report, as filed
I was outside with my family on the fourth setting off fireworks. looked up at a fireworks and saw a white circle object. I thought it was a space station going over but on looking to see if it was coming back over found out it had not come over at all and was not coming over. we watched it go from West to East no noise no flashing light watched it till it went out of sight.

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.
