The record

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

UNKNOWN

No document is attached yet. The retrieval is open work.

What is not settled

The physical evidence collapsed on analysis: half the dust sample was ordinary clay and salt, and the black dust on the vehicle was identified as brake dust. The investigation was carried out by a civilian group, not an agency; the truck drivers corroborate lights, not the lifting of the car.
