The report, as filed
A neighbor and I were chatting at the edge of my property not long after sunset when he decided to take a photo of the Christmas decorations on my next-door neighbors’ house. As he did, I noticed a very bright star in the sky above and to the right of the moon. I said “Wow, that must be Venus,” and he said “Maybe.” After he took the photo, he showed it to me. I thought it was a beautiful scene and asked him to text it to me. He did, and several minutes later I looked at it. Right away, I noticed that the “very bright star” looked a bit odd, so I zoomed in on it. When I enlarged the photo to the max, I could see that it was actually a lighted disc encircled with a gray rim. I asked him to zoom in on the photo too and he saw the same thing.

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.
