Public Field Guide
A clear sighting report is built from calm attention: place, time, conditions, witness memory, and original media. The goal is not to force a conclusion. The goal is to keep the evidence useful.

Get yourself and nearby witnesses out of immediate risk. Do not chase an object, enter restricted land, block traffic, or handle unknown residue.
Record where you are, what direction you are facing, and what fixed landmarks are visible. A rough bearing is better than a dramatic guess.
If filming, include horizon, buildings, trees, stars, clouds, aircraft, or other scale references. Avoid zoom-only footage when possible.
Narrate time, direction, movement, weather, and witness reactions. Audio can preserve details that video misses.
Do not trespass, pursue, or put yourself in danger for a better angle.
Do not edit, filter, crop, upscale, or restage original evidence before archiving it.
Do not merge witness stories into one account before preserving individual statements.
Do not turn uncertainty into certainty. Unknown is an acceptable field status.
Start a structured report when you have location, timing, and witness context ready.
