A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked out my window and saw this large strange formation moving in the sky against the wind. I decided to record it to send it to my mom and ask what she thought of it. It looked like multiple cloud like objects with smoke trails behind them. They were flying the same speed and same direction. I’ve never seen anything like it. It is obvious it isn’t birds
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172570). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
