Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included.

My location is approximately 6200 above sea level. The object was elliptical and lasted approximately 1-2 seconds. I'm not sure of the dated but, If I'm not mistaken someone reported a similar one in a location around Colorado Springs, Colorado.
