Circle over West Bloomfiled, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walked outside my door on to the deck to let the dog out, I looked up and saw a white circular object floating directly overhead. I called to my Dad to hurry and bring his phone to come see it, he brought his phone, I turned it on and took a video and picture as I estimated where it was and just snapped the pic. My father is in his 70s and has a hard time seeing and couldn't see it. I ran back in to get a camcorder and tripod. Went back out it was still there, and didn't move, it just floated directly overhead. I couldn't find the object on the screen of the video camera and aimed and recorded. As I tried to adjust to find the object in the camcorder screen it left. I did not see it leave, when I looked up again-it was gone. It was white and hardly noticeable, but there were no clouds around it-just blue sky behind it. This was at 8:34pm Est and the video I took shows no evidence off of the first glance, but I will investigate it further.

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.
