Disk over Somwhere between Las Vegas and WA ST closer to WA, -
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was a beautifully clear day on the way back from Vegas. I was flying Spirit Airlines. I was sitting on the left hand side of the aircraft and was looking what would of been NW? I took many many pictures on the way back of all the lakes and snow packs and mountains and deserts. It was closer to WA when we were above a floor of clouds it was breathtaking. The sky was brilliant blue. We came to an area where there were breaks in the floor of clouds which looked like lakes so I was snapping shots. I also notice there was a jet trail in the far distance. I was zoomed in on that area and I noticed a disk like object coming into the frame and then almost vanishing like it was going behind a cloud. I thought nothing of it. A few minutes later I scrolled back through my photos and that's when I had noticed that I caught it in a frame. I zoomed in and was perplexed as to what it could be. I tried recreating the object in pictures afterwards thinking that it could of been a piece of dust on the window or something, but I could not recreate the object at all. I later zoomed in and it was even more bizarre. IT was a silverish disk like object with rings on the bottom of it.

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.
