The report, as filed
While watching the launch of Inspiration 4 last night, on YouTube, it was obvious to me that immediately after the separation of the 2nd stage booster rocket (at approx. T + 00:11:44, after launch) numerous UAP’s were entering and exiting the video frame. The Crew Capsule at this time was travelling at 27,343 KM/HR at an altitude of 206 KM, as noted on the video. At this speed, the distance between the Crew Capsule and the 2nd stage booster rocket was increasing at an approximate rate of 7.59 KM/Sec (or 4.72 Miles/Sec). This rate of Distance/Time is more than adequate to allow for the immediate appearance of the UAP’s within a split second after stage 2 separation occurred. Tonight, I began to scrub the video footage to better view the streaks of light and see if they could further be identified. Within the one second interval of T + 00:12:29, after launch, I was able to capture a single frame which clearly and distinctly shows the streak of light to be a discernable craft. It is worth noting, Space X announced they would be showing the view from the nose cone of the Crew Capsule, called the Dragon Cupola (observation dome) providing “incredible views of space” a “360 view”. Minutes later, after this visible flurry of UAP’s, the Space X reporters told the audience at T + 00:20:11, after launch, that technical difficulties were preventing them from showing us that “live view”. Shortly thereafter, they then ended the broadcast.

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.
