As reported

Teardrop over Brighton/ Fairfield, IA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

3 travelers saw multiple sightings on these black snake like objects moving in the sky. They would appear to be falling down and then zoom to the left or right before heading back up in the sky. Shortly after we saw a plane of some kind chase it. A Lazer like light came out and an explosion ensued (fireball maybe?). A third party in Washington Iowa witnessed this as well. When we made it to fairfield it seemed like we were all missing time. It should have been light out Still. The time on the car went from 7:30 to 9:26. We were missing almost 2 hours of time. There were glowing orbs in the sky around 1030 and one seemed to have crashed at Water Works. We went to investigate but it felt off. We came home and still felt off. We heard something moving in the alley and I decides to snap a photo without flash (my camera did something weird that I've never seen before.). In the photo there appears to be a humanoid shape. We went to investigate and there was nobody there, or animal.

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.
