Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Clearfield, PA

Saw a light in the sky we thought, (at first), was just a star. It was a clear night with lots of stars out. But then this light started moving. Making “S” and “zigzag” pattern moments and then abruptly stopping. While stopped the light would intensify in brightness and then dim again. Then it flew off behind a tree line and out of sight. We were amazed by what we saw and couldn’t believe it. No plane or helicopter could have made those movements and surely was no star. For the time and location of the area a drone is highly unlikely.
