The report, as filed
I went flying at a local high school early Sunday afternoon (10/23/2022). After I went home to view the footage I found this object passing in front of my drone. It looked like a bird at first until I slowed down the footage and noticed it comes from what looks like the tree line (300ft away from the goal post) the object looks to be a smokey ring orb of some kind. The wind was calm with full overcast sky. My camera did not have a NV filter on it. This was recorded at 2.7k 60fps. It looks to be in the video frames 1.04 seconds that I can see. I did not notice any electrical disturbances on my drone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172607). 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.
