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.

This happened just after dark around 22:30. I saw a flash of light on my TV screen that was connected to an outside security camera. Which caught my attention. There were two lights on the ground in my garden that was about 100 feet from my house. I watched the light rise up to about 10 feet and the two turn into lights moving counter clockwise direction around a craft. The craft was not big. Probably less than 10 feet across. Couldn't see a shape for the lights. It hovered up, back and forth, and then drifted off to the east into the wooded area and up into the sky. The next morning, I went to investigate any damage done to my garden and you could see some mashed vines and leaves where it had been sitting or hovering. Large round impressions about 12 inches, but not deep.

So, I am younger than you can say an adult, but I was in my moms car, and I was staring at the sky, then I glance to the left, and a light appears, it was very faint at first, then after a period of around 10 seconds it got brighter and brighter, Then I screamed to my brother, and said, "Do you see that light?!" and I pointed to it, and he saw it. After a period of around 8 seconds, it just sat there, then all of the sudden a second object appears, But I don't think it was a UFO, it looked somewhat like a plane. It had wings like an airplane, But there was something strange, they weren't moving. and they were in the sky at around 135 degrees South West, and all of the sudden, the second object, which was the one that looked like an airplane, faded away to the direction of the first object and this took around 5 seconds, but which felt very slow, and after these seconds, the 2nd object disappeared and after around 10 seconds, the first object, faded away at the same speed as it got bright. I would describe the first object as being like a star, like the north star, circular, but I couldn't see the object clearly because of how bright it was, the light was the same as a star, but it couldn't be a star because how early it was and my street is kind of light polluted, so you can't see stars until relatively late at night. I had Always been fascinated by strange things, such as the paranormal. But I always had this fear of when you read or watch something, or imagine it, it would become real. This terrifies me, because i've never thought they'd be real but they are. And I know I am not lying, and i'm still terrified from this event. I don't care if you don't believe it's real, but I know it in my heart an mind that I saw this, and something I will never forget. Now I know that we are not alone, and no one can take this knowledge away from my heart, such a terrifying sight it was. At second thought, I think That airplane may have been abducted, but I am not sure. I think this may have been a reason for the flights that have disappeared over years. Well that will put an end to description and explanation. If you read this, please note that I am not trying to waste your time, and I seriously believe in what I saw. Thank you for your time.

Was in Aldi supermarket middle os store.Small immaculate man was checking cans on shelf and shaking his head.Looked at me and said "Watch what you eat!"We walked and talked while I shopped.Last isle tall woman in robe had an empty cart in front of her blocking the isle.I shut my eyes and with all my inner strength pushed her cart out of the way.The small man went to her side and exclaimed."He pushed your cart away 3 times.She smiled and said why did you do that?After that she took over my mind and went inside my body.I became a little child climbing up inside my body and looking out my eyes.I could look down and they were several people inside my body and I was laughing like a little child.There were several dark skinned people all women who were picking up food and exzamining it.And they had been communicating with the women.The small man looked up at me and said "Watch what you eat!"Then walked away and I noticed he was wearing sa! ndells.He also wore a lime green sports shirt and light brown sports slacks..I left the store as fast as I could.And it was quite some time before I returned to normal.I quit telling this story because people natuarally thought I was loco.
