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.

Cadillac, MI

Driving through Cadillac Michigan, I witnessed an orb in the sky above lake Mitchell and lake Cadillac. Once I told the driver of my sighting we both turned back to the sky and there was another orb next to it. They were traveling at a rate of speed that is faster than a plane but slow enough for us to see that they were two circular orbs in a orangeish color. The two orbs moved east for a while until they were no longer in our view. We did not see them again.

Cadillac, MI

craft hovered in the sky, hard to make clear of the shape because it was dark, though I think triangular. Had lights like a vehicle's headlights and a dim orange light on the side. May have been pyramid-shaped. We watched as it hovered, after about 20 seconds it completely vanished out of nowhere.
