ADS-B from FlightAware also shows a ground speed of just about 250mph, which means they also broke the speed limit.
If they are reported what does the FSDO do? How much trouble is the PIC in? Yes we have the N number.
Just my two cents here, I'm nobody connected or special.
I'd advise against reporting this. You didn't observe this airplane. A family member did. While the airplane was low enough to have the tail numbers readable from the ground, it was high enough for your family members to write down and notice the registration. You also don't know what was going on with that airplane or pilot.
Reporting your own experiences into ASRS or ASAP will achieve more, in my opinion.
