He goes what is that as I'm looking at him I look up. See what looks like a bug splat on windshield. It drops directly out of the sky. Right near the hwy hovering for like 5 seconds then it takes off so fast it disappears. Big silver metallic ball. When it shot down our of sky I could see what looked like windows around the bottom.

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.
