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 wife and I had just gotten out of our Hot Tub and were relaxing on our deck looking up at the stars. I noticed a very bright white strobe light flash rapidly three times in the sky to my left and then go dark for approximately one second. There was no noise and I did not make out any shape. The next time they flashed it was in a different place as if the object was moving at a high rate of speed. We watched it for four of five more seconds and then it made an abrupt turn and appeared to travel up and then a moment later abruptly turned again and traveled down. We lost sight of it behind some trees. As we were discussing it a second one appeared in approximately the same location as the first and traveled the same path displaying the same mannerisms. I'm a retired Aviation Marine and have worked with military aircraft for twenty years and have never seen anything to compare with this. What stunned me was that when the light flashed three times I could see each separate flash ( it would be about the same amount of time to send the letter "S" Morse Code) that would indicate that whatever they were, they were traveling at a very high rate of speed. We sat there and continued to watch the sky for another thirty five to forty minutes and didn't see anything else except a few commercial aircraft at altitude.

Please do not make this report public, I'm mostly putting this here as it's the only place to vent and not risk my career. I'm a ((specialty deleted)) working serious cases and this would not fly especially with my ((specialty deleted)) background to make me sound like I have PTSD but.. On the night of the 17th I made a report, I was outside with my girlfriend mid conversation a Triangle set of lights no more than Flight level 090 appeared in the left horizon of my backyard, time 1004. I couldn't sleep, I stayed out with my camera taking hundreds of pictures just hoping to see it again. It returned, exact same part of the sky last night. I havent slept because this time it didnt shoot across the sky in an instant. It stayed, circling. I could only stare in awe at it. The 3 lights were a slight blue hue, and immediately after a meteorite dissipated to my right, fractured and made a small parcel of dust. I could no longer locate the craft when I looked back. Please do not make public, or the one from my previous report. My adrenaline was still rushing and I regretted posting something hinting for others to look into the sky and since removed my post and pretending I was trolling. I've told a trusted few but even then I know I would never in a million years have believed what I was saying, just as you shouldn't, but the truth is what was happening when it stood there.. I could feel it looking at me. I dont even know if I believe in aliens or not but what I saw has irrevocably changed everything I believe. Kind Regards, ((name deleted))

On or about the precise date and time my puppy Axel woke me up to go out for a walk. We were under lockdown orders via the president. Axel went down the back stairs as usual. We went into the darkness of the back path of the apartments. When we arrived at the parking lot. I believed at first we were looking at a drone. I looked and the puppy turned his head towards a craft hovering about 1 foot off the ground. The craft was silent it was about the size of 3 SUV's. The craft was turning quietly. I remember the brilliant colors of the lights purple/ indigo and red. The craft was not a perfect triangle but had rounded edges. The lights flashed faster. I remember a flash like a camera taking a picture of me. The dog and I were on the other side of the parking lot continuing our walk. I had no memory of the craft or where it went. I thought it was a drone but have recently had vivid dreams of the dog and I inside the craft. The beings looking at us. I hope it was just swamp gas and electrical charges. I am a Kindergarten teacher a well read and traveled person/ I am respected in my craft of education and have received a promotion to instructional coach. I do not believe the dog and myself could hold the same hallucination at the same time. we both turned looked and saw.

On 10/04/17, at 8:20 PM, I was driving on Broad River Blvd. In front of me, just at the tree line, was a massive triangle shaped UFO. It was black with three white lights on the front. It was moving very slow and there was no engine noise.
