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.

My wife woke up but could not move or speak but could see the outline of a woman in our room who telepathically told her that everything was going to be ok do not try to move. At the same time i remember waking up and not being able to move and not seeing my wife next to me but could see a bright red light outside of my window. When i woke up the next morning i was panicking to check on my wofe who was asleep next to me i woke her up and she immediately started telling me about her encounter. We found out my wife was pregnant later on that month after multiple miscarriages and to this day my wife believes that it was extraterrestrial intervention that allowed her to carry my son full term.

I was on my motorcycle riding west bound on log road. The night was clear and I saw two very bright orange orbs above me. I pulled into herbert's nursing homes parking lot and looked at the sky. I saw both orbs move in a straight line similar rate of speed as an aircraft. I then got back on my bike and left the scene.
