A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On January 23, 2023 about 11:55 pm I was looking at the “3 sisters stars” a cluster of stars and to the right of this cluster seemed to be many falling stars. The falling stars then became an object coming toward my location. The object’s oval body was opaque blue/black with transparent wings. The wings had about 5 white lights on each wing. As the object flew closely overhead there was no engine sound, no high pitch sound, only the sound of air moving in the quiet sky. From wing to wing the object is about as long as two roof tops of 1500 square foot homes.

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.
