Changing over West Tisbury, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a light in my cabin window and looked closer to see an object flying to and fro, up and down over my chicken coop. The “fuselage” had geometric patterns with a white light on top and my radio was on and the volume went up and down and up and down then it went completely dead. I grabbed my iPhone camera and all the settings were askew and the screen was gray. The craft was scanning the woods behind the chicken coop with a dull red light. The next morning the iPhone camera worked fine as it always does! I wish I woke up my brother-in-law but he had a hard day. I was a firefighter captain for 18 years and the town’s ACO. My God Peter they do exist! Sent from my iPhone

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.
