A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was waiting at a railroad crossing to begin my work. My co-workers left the job site I was looking at a small plane flying towards a storm clouds when I noticed a bright long shape object going in and out of the storm clouds. So I took a couple of pictures I was trying to record on my phone but object kept moving in and out of cloud. So I was trying to focus closer on object to see what it was. I was able to take 3 picture of object before it disappeared into clouds.

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.
