Cigar over unknown, SAXONY · Germany
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Dear Sirs, I am an American Citizen living in Germany. On the national news "Tagesthemen" as of August 4, 2022, 22:15, there seems to be a large UFO flying over the head of a man being interviewed at minute 03:44. Since noone in Germany seems interested in the case, I am writing to you. You might be in contact with the competent authority in Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQwqjM1mMOY Kind regards, Margret Ann Traue
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170943). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

What would the paper say?
German records answer to the Informationsfreiheitsgesetz (2005). 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.
