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.

Stephenville, TX

I was in my downtown Stephenville studio outside laying on my back smoking a cigarette when I saw what I thought was a shooting star and when I expected it to fizzle out it leveled out and then zoomed off into the horizon. It looked like a circle in the middle of two smaller circles as wings. No sound Faint red non blinking lights.

Stephenville, TX

As I was driving the backroads from my sister’s house in Denton, Texas, I saw an enormous pewter colored plane. It was about 6pm. It was flying right above the ground, and right in the middle, it had a round glass that hung down and was flashing. It made no sound at all. I was so taken aback. I didn't even stop to take a picture. I have looked and researched shiny silver planes that fly low to the ground taking pictures, but can’t find anything matching my description. I will never forget what it looked like and what it was doing.
