The report, as filed
I was walking my dog and looked up into the sky. I saw an object traveling North in the sky. It was light blue and rectangular in shape It was 3 dimensional like a shipping container. It was traveling at what appeared to be the height and speed of airplanes. There was no trail behind it. It seemed to be very large.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158977). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

It was late. I was outside on the side of my house. I was smoking a cigarette when I noticed a bluish light...it was bright enough to make me notice. Then in a matter of a second the light was coming from above the trees. It was so bright I had to squint my eyes. It lite up the two trees that were directly in front of me. I got up out of the chair I was sitting in and leaned over the porch balcony and nothing was there. It was dark again. I saw no cars coming in or leaving my development. It scared me.

I went outside for fireworks and saw one that wasn't exploding. It was just sitting still in the sky and not moving. Then it changed color and moved in a triangular pattern at 70+mph without accelerating and it made a sudden stop without decelerating. It changed the light color multiple time and went out occasionally. It was followed by a larger object that circled the 2 smaller ones.
