Regardless of where you file your report, you need the same basic set-up. It's best to do this immediately after the sighting so everything is fresh in your head. When it's fresh, it's more likely to be accurate. You'll use this information to file a report to specific agencies. Here's what to start with: Number of witnesses (to be valid, there needs to be at least 1 other person) Time Location (if you live next to an Air Force base or other similar area, your report may be discarded) Number of objects seen Do ''not'' include your personal information in the body of the report. It will have to be removed later. The more details you have, the more convincing your story will be (or the easier it will be to determine if it's something else). Think back to experience. These are the aspects you should cover: Lights (How many were there? Were they flashing or solid?) Color (Did the color ever change?) Brightness (Compare it to another object, if possible) Motion (How fast did it go? Did it move up and down? Back and forth? Smoothly or erratically?) Behavior (Did the object move or land, emit lights, sounds, or other objects?) Interactions with space (Did it engage with other aircraft in the vicinity, produce electrical or magnetic effects, such as a car engine stopping?) Trail, haze, etc. (Was there an aura or haze around the object, any cloud or smoke trails from the object?) Think of holding up an object at arm's length to block the view of the UFO. Would you need a dime? A cookie? A plate? Something in between? This may be about as close as you can get. Think of the other objects around to determine how far away it was. Was it well above the trees? Hills? Power lines? Satellite towers? This can help you assess it's apparent distance. There are a few common standards currently known does your experience fall in line with any of these shapes? Saucer: there are three varieties domed (stereotypical), lenticular (pistachio-shaped), and lenticular with dome Hat: there are three varieties conical hat, double hat, and flat top straw hat Sphere: a standard circular shape Saturn: in the shape of the planet, as if the object has rings Ellipsoidal: egg-shaped when hovering, football-shaped while flying Cylindrical: this object looks like a giant cigar Dirigible: shaped like a pointy bullet; generally followed by a luminous plume Triangle/boomerang: wedge-shaped or v-shaped, like a boomerang The better the weather (fewer clouds, no rain, etc.) the more reliable your story will be and the harder it will be to argue you didn't see what you saw. However, that being said don't be tempted to lie if it was bad; it's quite easy to find out what the weather actually was that day if need be. If it was cloudy or rainy, explain how that affected your vision. Did it obscure anything, even if just partly, from view? Did anything change as the clouds parted or as the rain lifted? Could anything you saw be due to visual distortion from clouds or other natural phenomena? One of the most effective ways to make your sighting convincing is to include pictures or video good pictures or video, that is. Don't bother fabricating something UFO hoaxes have been around long enough that most can be debunked. The best photos aren't digital. In fact, negatives (on tangible film) are best to prove it hasn't been tampered with. If it is digital, don't even think about even so much as resizing it. If it's been changed from its original form even in the minutest detail, it might get thrown out. The best videos have other objects in them for reference and are stationary, so you can see the UFO's movement, instead of a video that's panning along with them. Were your senses impaired or impeded? These may be similar to points a law enforcement agent would cover. Think of the following details (and be honest): Objects between you and the UFO that obscured your view If you were wearing contacts or glasses at the time of the sighting If you were wearing headphones or anything to impair or prevent your hearing If you had a cold or anything preventing your olfactory sense from working properly If you were taking prescription drugs, or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs Break it up into paragraphs to make it easy to read. Include any specific knowledge you have from your background that aids the story (for example, if you're a pilot or have flight/mechanical training). It doesn't have to be fancy, but it should be typed up (you'll likely submit it online, so you can just copy and paste it over) and spell-checked. The better it is constructed, the more it will be taken seriously. Include a drawing of the UFO. Do your best to show relative size, shape, lights, etc.
