Oval over Hakui City (Japan) · Japan
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving in the car with my family and taking photos for my photo album and today when I checked all the photos I noticed that there was a strange object in the sky on one of my photos. I’m sure it was not a plane or a helicopter or a drone because I took several photos of the same place very quickly with my camera. In total I captured about five objects and the clearest one being a large oval shaped object. I have these photos and I would just like to have them authenticated. Thanks.

What would the paper say?
Japanese records answer to the Act on Access to Information (1999). 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.
