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.

My husband and I were in the swimming pool and saw an object fly over at approximately 5:00pm today, June 17, 2022. It was flashing, very bright blue light around the edges and the main part of the craft was a shimmery/silvery color. The sun was shining, there were no clouds, and no other objects in the sky. The object was shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners and had a tube-like, cylinder-shaped white object coming down from it. It crossed the sky slowly, in a southbound direction, making no sound, and flying much closer than an airplane would fly. It flew directly over our home in west Marion, Indiana. Neither of us have ever seen anything like it before and I can’t believe we’re the only people who saw it.

I saw one earlier in the week prior, going along state road 18 east headed west towards Marion near the I-69 exit. At first I thought it was one of those red blinking towers. As I approached closer I realized it was not and it was moving very slowly just maybe 100 ft over the trees. There's were 3 lights that I could see: green, red (one on each side), and at the point of the triangular object was a white light, almost like a search light. It made no sound to my knowledge. I told my brother to look at it and he said it was probably just a helicopter. I've never seen a helicopter move that slow. As I passed it and looked back in my rear view mirror it looked as though it had 3 bright engines on the back. Two nights ago I witnessed it again over I-69 but this time it was lower and moving south along the interstate. I tried shaking off the first time, but now it's been twice within a week or so. I have no idea how no one else saw this. I've never been so paranoid and am scared to see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My boyfriend and I were walking to his parents about a block away. The first lights we saw were on the way there. We live outside of the city so we get an amazing sky view. First we saw 1 white light that didn't flash at all like the airplanes and looked about twice the size. There was no sound and it changed direction and speed about 3 times before disappearing suddenly. We saw a second one far to the right behaving in the same way but going different directions. When it went to the far right we could hear dogs begin to bark from the same direction. We get to his parents and we're there for awhile visiting and eating. We leave and just as we head down the road, he says, "I hope we get to see something else," an a bright orange "shooting star" shoots through the sky and appears to explode and disappear as it falls. Did anyone else see this? Please report it so we know we're not the only ones.

Driving North we noticed a huge bright circle hovering in the air, not moving at all. We stared and watched it as we drove towards it (approximately 4 minutes). We turned and continued to watch it for about 10 seconds, and then it suddenly looked as if it flipped and thinned out into a white line and then it was gone. We could not see it anywhere. It was as if it disappeared in mid air. It was the brightest thing I've ever seen. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Police and sheriff's department plus numerous citizens of the town. Due the length of time event happened there were military helicopters in the air watching the performance of the number of ufo's on the north end and south end of town. Approximately 6 to 8 craft at each end of town from after 12 mn to 6 am. Also there was electral activity in the sky due to heat or due to them. It was like they were playing with lightening. Playing with each other, in formation and darting in and around each other. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
