The report, as filed
My husband and I witnessed a UFO sighting on Sunday October 3, 2021, at 5:10 am just outside of May, Idaho, in hunting unit 37 (Challis National forest). We were in our truck on our way to hunt some elk that morning. I had my head rested back on the seat and my eyes were closed but I wasn't sleeping. My husband very frantically grabbed my arm and said "you need to look at this!". He was pointing to an object through the front of the windshield and it was unlike anything I have ever seen. He stopped the truck and we were able to get an 8-10 second look at it before it disappeared. Just as I grabbed my phone to take a picture, it disappeared into the dark sky. The giant flying object appeared to be made up of greyish-green colored metal that was illuminated and glowing in the dark sky, almost as if there was a spotlight on it. It was very large in size and moving swiftly to the east. There were contrails of lights trailing the flying object. The contrails of lights were of multiple colors: blue, green, grey, and orange. The size of the flying object appeared to be at least the size of a football field.

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.
