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.

Orrington, ME

There was raucous thunder, and I didn't think anything of it at first, until the sound went away and came back. Then I got worried. I looked out my bedroom window and two crafts were zooming through the sky. They were each formed by two lights: red and yellow. It was a constant light, not blinking or flashing like you see on normal planes. I thought at first a plane was crashing. One craft looked like it was falling rapidly in the air, but then another circled it--not touching, just around it--and then they soared off. This was quick. I reached for my phone to make a video, but it was over in seconds! From when it first woke me, to when they flew off, I'd say it lasted 3 minutes tops.
