The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

The document is attached to this entry.

What is not settled

Small numbers of witnesses per event, no imagery; several entries in the same file are explained internally as meteors, and the range environment produced routine unusual objects. Unknown here means undetermined, not anomalous.
