The report, as filed
Crafts had no wings and made no sound and no visible propulsion. I seen one pass through then a minute or two later in the same exact spot I seen another but the second one was a little smaller. Daytime. The two videos sent are the sane craft. I didn’t catch the second one on camera. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Certain]

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.
