Cylinder over HENDERSON, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving abd noticed a ln object in the sky around 10 tm ATL above me flying northwest . It was NOT a plane; helicopter or blimp. I have flown a single engine plane it was a silver cylinder object about the size of a small plane that looked as of it had " solar panels " almost like a satellite quietly moving on a single direction as if floating. It stopped in one position & then kept going. It disappeared from my horizon then when I stopped at the supermarket at Henderson at the cross street of Bicentennial & Amthem Parkey it reappeared again . It was a translucent color of silver with white looking solar looking psneks on one end but it was cylinder in shape. I seem to reappear then disappear again. Below os an image I captured. Consistent with Chinese spy balloon.

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.
