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.

A bright, silent light was seen moving west to east across the entire sky. It was brighter than all stars and had no blinking lights. It was moving slower than most aircraft. Unusual amounts of normal air traffic were noted around the time of the sighting. I did capture this on video.

I’m not kidding. Almost every night there’s a ufo that comes through orange. I’ve seen a couple but the one I’m talking about you can see if you face south and look Southwest, Towards Westfield, Ma. It rises into the sky, sometimes it does circles or goes up and down, sometimes it just flies away. Almost always it’ll fly northeast. My only guess is Westfield Air Force base, one of the biggest in New England, has something they’re not talking about. I’ve also seen a triangular craft with three red lights at the points, and one HUGE white sphere in the middle fly over my house in the same direction. I got a video of it and soon after that cell phone just disappeared. It was an old government flip phone and the craft was moving so slowly I was able to film it from my window then run outside and catch it outside before it flew over tree cover. If there’s anyone in orange on here, look for the one that comes almost nightly! If you’re not good with direction go to! the lights by the dispensary, stand in front of the brown apartment building facing the Pizza Factory, and look above the Bedroom Factory. Right around sundown. You’ll eventually see it yourself.

I was staring at The Polaris star last night and noticed a craft, with red and white lights that I originally thought was an aircraft but it just kept hovering back and forth and I could hear a loud humming sound. I took some quite grainy video that is tough but not impossible to see!

Visiting my family at the home where I grew up, after everyone else in the house was asleep, I was sitting on the back stoop, in view of the woods. Feeling calm and peaceful after a day of meditation, I silently (in my head) invited any ships in the area to reveal themselves. Within roughly a minute, a chevron (or triangular/boomerang) shaped object appeared over the woods, partially obscured by the tree line. I counted five green lights on the bottom of the object, which glided up slowly from the point of materialization at an angle that allowed me to view its full shape. Viewing this object, I felt a sense of joy and reunion. However, when the question came into my head, not as words, but as a feeling, inviting me to meet the occupants of the object, it came with an intense energy that was familiar in a sense, but like nothing I've experienced on Earth in my conscious memory. I was reluctant to feel fear, but I almost immediately knew that I wasn't ready to have a physical encounter. I declined, telling the occupants they could go if they wished and thanked them for trusting me. Almost instantly, the object dematerialized. I sat outside for a few minutes before going in for the night.

I went outside and actually was looking for anything moving in the sky. (Because I actively now seek this stuff out) I spent 20mins looking at all the stars and trying to find an odd one. In the south western sky high over the tree line I noticed there was 3 star looking objects in formation of a perfect triangle, and a very bright looking star next to the formation (so 4 all together) At first, I kept staring at this formation as I found it odd all the objects were stationary and I have never noticed this constellation of stars. I kept searching but could not find anything I thought. I went back inside then went back out to smoke again 20 mins later. I could not find the triangle formation that was previously there but did still see the big bright star. I stared at it and saw bright lights coming from it. Greens, bright blues, red, orange all the colors of the rainbow. It was moving very slowly but fast enough (in all directions up, down, and horizontally) and now I could see it was changing it kept making a red triangle and I'm not sure if it was just flashing this or if that was the shape. It also flashed a few other pictures/shapes one looked like a pine or Xmas tree) At some points I could see it looked like a classic ufo...round, seamless, and rotating horizontal lights, but as I stared harder at it, it was changing to a triangle then to a round object. At a few points it looked diamond shaped then maybe it could have been multiple ufos in formation it changed so often I could not tell. Sometimes the entire thing got very bright then it had and aura around it. The flashing different bright lights never fades though only when a regular plane flew by did it stay stationary and white. It had to be very far away because I had no readings on my magnetometer. And I know how crazy this might sound but I want to be honest I felt waves coming from this, only when it was in view and I was staring at it. It felt like my vision was like twilight zone everything went black and then bright in and out. At one point there was stripped lights down trees in my vision as my vision blacked in and out. There was no fear or pain or negativeness I really didn't feel much while in this trance state (it also felt voluntary but hypnotized)other than pure interest/curiousity and I tried to allow the waves to take over as far as they would go but once I blinked the waves stopped and started over again until I blinked or the object went out of veiw. The object eventually slowly fell out of veiw within a little over an hour (it fell behind the trees) & my boyfriend who thinks aliens are absurd started yelling at me, but I wanted to get in my car and follow it. Too bad I was unable to. Please note I did try to video tape this effect but I could not hold my phone long enough to get anything also every time I tried the object did not look the same as it did in person I believe this is due to my phone not having a good camera and I was shaking and could not hold it still.

3 round lights hovering very low with no sound at all turned and headed towards newsalem.
