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.

Swannanoa, NC

I was driving to my house in my car down a country road and noticed 2 crafts with red and yellow lights flying in a meandering fashion up in the sky. When I arrived at my house, I had my spouse come outside to look. At this point there were three of them and they were higher in the sky. Two of them disappeared, and then a second later reappeared at a different spot in the sky. It seemed impossible for them to have traversed that distance at the speed they were going. They eventually drifted out of sight.
