Oval over Visible from Dulles/Sterling high in the sky, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were returning home from dropping off a rental car at Dulles airport traveling on Rt. 606 towards Rt. 50 in Loudoun county at about 1140 am. I observed ahead of us very high in the sky a white oval / blimp shaped object moving in a straight line about as fast as a jet. The sky was very blue with minimal clouds. I pointed it out to my wife several time, but she could not see it. I was driving and so I could not maintain sight, but was able to observe it for quite a while until I had to keep my eyes on the road. It did not look like a plane at all, but rather a very distinctly white oval shaped object.

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.
