The report, as filed
I was heading west on 150 hwy on my motorcycle and there was not a cloud for has far as you could see.Then I look up again and there is not a cloud cause there was no thickness too it,It was like a hole in the sky and I look ahead of me and thats when i seen this very bright orange glowing bell shaped object and on past the object on the left was another gray hole in the sky.The two clouds is what stands out in my mind,the first gray hole was behind the object and to the left,second gray hole was ahead of the object and to the right.The time and date is a guess,but there was a bunch of cars heading the same way I was.And when I turned right on to north bound I-49 I could not see anything anymore,the two gray holes is what was odd.

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.
