As reported

Circle over Palmdale, FL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

We were the only campers at this part of the campground on this particular evening. We were sleeping on the edge of the trees and the small lake, in out screen tent. I woke up some time between 4am and 5:20 am and saw a large, round, bright white light slowly flying over the trees near us and almost right over our tent. I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming so I woke up my husband and asked him to put his glasses on so that he can confirm what I was seeing. He confirmed and we watched in awe as the soundless object flew across the sky. By the time it disappeared over the horizon it was moving quickly and was the size of the stars. When it was right above us it was as large as an airliner would be if it was round in shape. There were other airplanes in the sky and none looked like or behaved like what we saw. Unfortunately we were both in shock and didn’t record the event. Today it came to me that by filing this report it may help confirm other sightings at this time and location. Shortly after the moon was doing something I have never seen before. There were bright beams creating a star like shape. My husband and I are regular people who enjoy camping and do so almost every month. He is a manager in retail and I am a massage therapist.

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.
