The report, as filed
I'm a hobbiest photographer. I had my camera set up on a tri pod and was doing what is called photo bracketing. I took a series of 4 shots at different shutter speeds. The four photos were taken within seconds of each other. It wasnt until I got home and was processing the photos that I came across something odd in only one of the photos. At first it appeared that my camera lens was dirty, but when I zoomed in on the photo I found something very strange in the left hand side along with all the other clutter in the photo. Everyone who has seen the photo so far agree that its very strange. [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Possible]

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.
