The report, as filed
I was having my morning coffee,capturing the colors of the sunrise; when I noticed a black shape in the distance. When I noticed it seem to shift I thought it was spec on my camera or the window. but when looking through other pictures taken, it went off into the distance and disappeared. I managed to take video and pics. In the distance the clouds seem to take on almost a shape of an alienesque face.

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.
