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.

Tomahawk, WI

They moved in a straight line from left to right and we observed them directly over the Dairy Queen. The two objects would move across the sky and then disappear. They then reappeared a couple minutes later following a similar path as the first time. They would also disappear into the clouds before they reappeared again. At first we thought they were possibly aircraft; however, they didn't have any navigational lights. We observed them for about 30 minutes. We were actually able to capture them on video using a cell phone.
