Cigar over Fruitland Park, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Item on attached video appears 5 seconds after my wife re-enters the house with our paper. Object clearly was very small, high speed on a horizontal trajectory when it made a sharp immediate 90 degree upward course. Object could have been much larger and farther away. Blow up photos of object (included) on plume2.jpg, shows square propulsion emissions that do not dissipate quickly. Bottom of object is slanted and one of the enlarged photos show a perfectly square emission port that appears to be maneuvering the object. No visible fins, feathers or wings. Blow up clearly shows that it is tot a bird, insect or fireworks. The original video is on my Ring cloud site, and I do not know how long they will store it. If you want additional information, leave a email me or leave a message on my home phone answering machine as we do not answer unknown phone numbers due to rampant telemarketing

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.
