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.

Alabaster, AL

I was on my way home around midnight; and as i entered my neighborhood i saw a bright light hovering over the houses, but it was way off in the horizon. It sat, didnt blink, and as i tried to find a proper place to pull over and record it began to slowly move foward and eventually going behind the treeline amd other houses.
