Egg over Bastrop, LA
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
I was on my way to work at the hospital when I saw 2 white object’s traveling at what appeared a high rate of speed. The first object was traveling from diagonally up/down while the smaller was traveling diagonally down/up. They appeared to be on intersecting paths but it was hard to tell as they disappeared so quickly. There was no flashes and the objects did not appear to have trails behind them. I was able to pull over and take a stationary picture. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

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.

Me and my son first notice an odd light in the sky while coming home from the store. It literally followed us home about 3 miles then stopped and hovered on the opposite side of the road when we pulled into our driveway. I videoed the object hovering about 75 yards away just over the tops of the trees on the other side of the road for about 20 minutes. During this time, my new car stalled briefly and me and my son both saw a very tall, about 9-10 feet tall, black figure standing on the opposite side of the yard, about 50 yards away. We both jumped out of my car and ran into the house and locked the door. As I looked out the window in the door, I saw the sphere take off upwards at a superfast rate of speed. A few months later I videoed another craft exactly the same up in Cheyenne , WY hovering about 100 yards away from my house just above the trees .
