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.

Hartland, MI

Standing in a parking lot in Hartland, MI on May 26, 2021 at approximately 9:55pm. Myself and my partner were looking up at the night sky, stargazing. Suddenly we both look to the west, about 60 degrees up from the horizon, and there is a long band of light, with what appears to be multiple light sources along the band. This band of light was a straight line. The band moved from direct west to southwest, before dimming and entirely disappearing. It did not move at incredible speed. At first I thought it may be a plane's landing lights shining on clouds, but there were no blinking or colored lights visible and cloud cover was extremely light, and the dimming and eventual disappearance does not add up to me.
