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.

The images are of a cylindrical aircraft flying across the nighttime Bellevue sky. The first image is blown up, the second is from a distance. I didn’t see wings or flashing lights, so I’m fairly certain it’s not an airplane.

Two images of the craft, one from a distance and one blown up. To me, appears to be a tiny manned craft, but that’s just a guess.

I was in the passenger seat with the window down, and I was taking a photo of the moon. I saw a bright light flash by as I took the photo. As seen in the photo, there is no lamp post where the light shines onto the bridge. 2 photos- one without the light (different location on the bridge) and one of the light I saw pass by as I took photo.

I see these every night without fail. They might pass for aircraft, but they fly low to the ground and are silent. They appear to carry people, but there doesn’t appear to be a cabin. I am concerned because I have seen men in military uniforms piloting them (militia?). It’s my hope the U.S. government will at least investigate. Given the military uniforms I fear they might have a political agenda and may be planning acts of domestic terrorism. My photos aren’t great, but I am willing to hand over the images I have to the authorities. If there’s a plausible explanation for what I’m seeing I don’t know what it is.
