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.

While driving with my wife on the 805 South in San Diego, CA near the intersection of the 54 I noticed a bright light in the distance (may have been 10-15 miles away). The light slowly dissipated and the craft (only one observed), which was moving very slowly, completely disappeared. I work in the aviation industry and have never seen anything like it. It did not seem like a man-made aircraft light and was very bright. My wife was in the car but was sleeping at the time. I woke her up during the event but she wasn't able to see the object as it was only in view for a short time.

After me and my friends got our food for nutrition break we went to our AP Human Geo class on our way over we saw a circular UFO Looking object. because of forced perspective from about 5 feet off the ground it looked like the size of a penny held up to the sky. i'm not too sure what it was but I'm reporting it anyway.

On Wednesday December 02, 2020 at approximately 1744 hours while working out at Norman Park in Chula Vista, California located at Del Mar Ave and F Street I observed 20 to 30 lights that looked like the size and brightness of satellites you would see in the night sky. The objects were traveling above me in a straight line spaced evenly apart. This was observed for 1 minute flying from southwest to northeast and another male person working out also observed the lights. The park lights were bright which made it hard to record, but when observing the recording you are able to barely see the lights in a single row. The other male witness called his family (3 members) telephonically and they walked to the park a few minutes later but the lights were gone. However we did spot 2 more lights traveling in the same direction and both instances were recorded on an IPhone X.

this ufo stayed on one course, but had this really intense glow to it. It was glowing so much that I couldn’t tell what kind of shape the object was for most of the encounter. What I found kind of odd though was that as I I’m staring at this glowing object, there was another aircraft of some sort not far behind it (Keep in mind the sun has gone down) . The 2nd object blended in with the night sky so good that if it wasn’t for the red flashing light that this craft had, I wouldn’t have been able to see it at all.

Just after arriving home I looked up in the sky and noticed what looked like a string of lights moving in a southerly direction, some of the lights were brighter than others. This line was not a perfectly straight line, it kind of reminded me of a sting of birds and how their line would be a little random, and not looked like it had a purpose. I have a watch that has a compass in it and that is how I knew which way they were traveling. The logical person in me kept looking for an explanation. Eventually the lights went dimmer due to the clouds in the area. It is the closest thing I've experienced with out explanation. Very interesting, This night has a Very Full moon, that had just risen in the east. The moon was not in the area where the lights were seen
