The report, as filed

THE SECOND FLEW DIRECTLY PAST THE CAMERA AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AND IT FLATTENED LIKE A SAUCER AS IT JETTED PAST. OBJECT WAS WHITE, THE SIZE OF A SEAGUL BYT IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS WINGS THAT RESEMBLES A HUMMINGBIRD. ALSO RESEMBLES UFO RODS, BUT NOT QUITE. TRUST ME YOU WANT TO SEE THIS

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.
