The report, as filed
On the evening of September 29, 2023, my wife and I met our son at the Park-Ride parking lot in Epping,NH, about 6:30 PM where we picked up our two grandchildren, ages 10 and 13. There was plenty of daylight. Suddenly my wife pointed out the passenger-side front windshield and said, "What is that flying up there?" It took me a moment to see exactly where she was pointing, but then I saw what she was talking about. A flying object, in the shape of a pudgy S, was rotating counter-clockwise on its axis, moving unswervingly due east, at a constant speed. It was black. There were no observable lights. There was no detectable sound. All of us watched it until it moved out of sight, not climbing vertically, but moving on a steady, horizontal path. One of us watched the object through a spotter scope for about 20 seconds. On the website reddit there are several postings about a black, rotating, S-shape object. If you Google "UFO, drone, or weather balloon above Reagan National Airport" you will see a video that matches exactly what we saw flying over Epping on September 29, 2023.

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.

While driving west on 101 this evening, I watched a solid orange light descend, and steadily head north. Lost sighting after 5-7 min. No flights on the tracking site, too bright to be a drone.

Noticed a bright orange star near the moon, the light became 2 lights as it came closer, then a 3rd light appeared in back, it then floated silently over head going west at approximately the same altitude as a helicopter would fly. It had 3 circular domes on the bottom of the vessel with flashing beams of light spot lighting the ground underneath as it was moving.

Not wanting to lose track of it, I didnt go get my camera, it suddenly flashed again ,disappeared and reappeared a short disance away glowing a bright orange,at which time it flashed and was back at its original location in the west , it then flashed and disappeared. I sit out there most every night of the week and see many strange objects that cannot be explained by airplanes , satalites and the such.
