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.

An orange circular light steadily floating across the sky above the houses after dark. Heading west to east. No sound was heard, but looked to be close above. Video is provided by the witness, but it is out of focus. PD

When I was walking out to the barn to check on the animals as I do everynight, I always look up at the sky on clear nights. I never expected to see the object I did. It was high up in the sky in the West direction, was very bright like a prism, and took on a slight rectangular shape, almost square It was close enough, there was no way too miss seeing it. It came straight down very fast, and just disappeared before hitting ground. There was no sound, no aircraft, etc around. We are out in the country. I wondered if it was falling space junk from a satellite, but there was no flashing light, or suggestion that anything was "burning out".
