Circle over Dover and on my way home, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my way home from work on September 14, 2021 and I was crossing the Bayou Bridge at Dover I was on the phone with my cousin and saw strange lights in the sky I was like what is that in the sky but I was meeting traffic so I said it must be a reflection. I drove on up the road where the road is straight and I saw a huge object just hovering in the sky and I said to her there's something in the sky so I kept going and it was out of sight. I continued home and talked to her until I lost cell service. I turned off of Hwy. 164 onto my county road and I went down the hill and around a curve and I saw it in the sky again it was hovering just above the treeline at the bottom of the hill to my house. I was frightened and wasn't sure what to do. I slowed down and was looking at it. It was large and had really bright Orangeish lights on it. It's really hard to describe what the lights looked like. I reached down to get a phone and try to get a picture and then it just vanished. I couldn't hear any sounds coming from it at all. I proceeded on up to open the gate to my property and when I got out to unlock the gate I heard jets and helicopters like they were chasing the UFO. I was terrified that night and got home and raced in the house I was too terrified to sleep much that night. I felt like the UFO had followed me was waiting but got scared away. I called my cousin and told her the whole story because I was so shaken.

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.
