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.

After dropping off a friend at his house in northern Everett, WA, while still sitting in my car, I saw the objects through my open window towards the south. There were three bright white lights in the sky approximately 35-40 degrees above the horizon. The three lights were in a non-equilateral formation and slowly moving independently of each other. They were much brighter and larger in the sky than any star, planet, or satellite I have seen. Based on the brightness and apparent distance, they seemed too close together to be landing lights on three separate planes and too far apart to be lights from a single plane. They also did not resemble flares in any way. I watched them for about 1-2 minutes before pulling away and for some odd reason I did not think to take a photo or a video. Once I got home, I saw on Facebook that 2 other people who live in the area saw the exact same objects and one of those people took a good video of the objects while driving in the same area that I had been in when I saw them. After thinking for awhile at home, I remembered that about 30 more to an hour before the sighting, I had been sitting in a church in downtown Everett, WA and I had heard the sound of a distant military jet. It stood out to me because I am in that area a lot and I have never heard any kind of plane in that area before. Some additional information about me: - I have spent many years enjoying recreational astronomy. I am familiar with stars, planets, etc. - I have previously witnessed many satellites in the sky including StarLink satellites. - I grew up right next to an airport with flights coming and going directly over my house just above the tree tops. - I have spent years educating myself about the space and aviation industry. I am pretty capable of identifying aircraft and rocket launches. Note: Attached photos are extracted from a video taken by another nearby observer within minutes of my sighting of the same objects.

I’m a nightshift worker who gets home around 2:00 AM each night except Sundays. My routine is to walk my dog before going to bed. On October 13, 2023 at 2:15 AM, I noticed three “orbs” overhead traveling in a “loose formation” meaning that they weren’t in the tight triangle formation that one would see jets fly in. These three “orbs” weren’t as bright as the background stars which they were flying by. The background stars in question would be the stars that make up the constellation of Orion the Hunter. These three “orbs” were moving rapidly, but certainly not as fast as meteors. They came from the NW (300 degrees) and flew towards the SE (117 degrees). What was particularly odd was the way that they flew…it was very “loose” as well. They didn’t fly in a direct line like jets or meteors for that matter. They flew in a manner that reminded me of downhill skiers as they ski back and forth (slalom skiing) as they go downhill. This odd way of flying, very “loose” formation and very “sloppy” flying with regard to linear movement (non-uniform linear motion) was what struck me the most as being unusual…moreso than their dimness and their silence. The sighting lasted about 5 or 6 seconds. It was brief, but longer than typical meteor streaks. I’ve seen bolides go high above crossing the sky in long straight lines that took 5-6 seconds to go across the sky, but they were always singular and of course, much brighter than these three dim orbs. Perhaps others in the surrounding neighborhoods North of Seattle might’ve seen these three “sloppy flyers” as well. I’ll upload two photos. The one photo with the red arrow denotes the line of travel past the constellation of Orion the Hunter. The buildings in the foreground are simply other townhouses here at this complex. The photo of the compass (screen grab) is showing the direction of 117 degrees SE in which these three orbs were going. They came from the opposite direction which would be 300 degrees NW.

So, I live in Everett and the questions pertaining to what kind of craft is complicated, Because I see so many different kinds from Merkaba Light ships to Tic Tac and One that looked like the cargo ship on Star Trek. I see them as changing organic ships to solid silver with red lights. Even a cigar shape where you can see the beings inside one a mantis being and one lion/ large cat type being. I have pictures and videos recent ones And ones that go back a few years now. And I’m ready to come out to the Ufology Community and I have many stories and experiences. As far as sightings well, don’t laugh but I literally just ask them and they show up sometimes. I’m taking a huge risk putting myself out here. Please be kind. I didn’t know how else to contact other than send a compacted report. Let me know! Thanks!

I was driving home from work on the freeway going north I saw a saucer shaped craft with the whole craft lit up with one led light .it was bigger than any plane I have ever seen flying didn’t make noise and was low to the ground to where I saw the whole shape and craft itself .it was moving Erratically in fast motions for about 10 seconds going south I was watching until it took off so fast I couldn’t see it anymore . I could see it in the clouds and it lit up half the sky it didn’t have multiple lights it was just one huge light in the shape of a saucer and I could see the craft not just the light
