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.

2 circular craft moving at a very high speed within a few miles of each other in the sky at the same time, one was much larger or closer to this witness when was smaller, the smaller one had multiple colored lights that it was cycling through. Both did not have flashing lights they were continuous lights. After the sighting there were three helicopters in the sky moving towards the direction of The crafts. There was no sound until the helicopters arrived. This is over a retired Navy military base.

I messaged my friend on discord as this experience occurred and they directed me here. I didn't think it had anything to do with aliens, but it really freaked me out. I don't remember anything of the dream- just very calm knocking, a very surreal knocking that seemed so real it woke me up to a raging storm. (***hiding my username)Today at 4:23 AM the craziest shit happened the craziest stuff just happened i saw a huge flash of light, then the power went out then i heard a loud beep, and it came back on and everything started whirring and I heard a loud click, everything started running again, then i heard a huge bang and saw a huge flash of bright yellow light from my window and the power went out again and so I rushed to unplug my pc which is right infront of the window, the next time it happened I was looking out the window and the same noises and beeping from outside but I saw nothing but blinding yellow light for about half a second? No thunder but I think lightning hit my house!!! it happened a total of 3 x i was looking out the window, and i couldnt see what flashed it would just flash no thunder I think the circuit thing must be right under my window and it was making loud bangs and flashing Right before too, I heard knocking in my dream like 10 mins ago and it woke me up and its super windy and storming really hard, and then this happened (P.S. I checked, there is nothing but wall under my window. No circuitry or anything that could've caused the flashing and banging. I live on the top floor and my neighbors yard is visible from my window, lol)

In summer of 2017 or 2018, leaving from Pleasant Street in Brunswick, Maine onto 295 and going north to Topsham for lunch. I noticed a large number of lower flying airplanes. There were several passenger planes as well as what looked like jets. Which is not completely foreign as Brunswick has a decommissioned naval base that does still do training, but typically not with jets. The planes seemed to be doing turns and going back and forth and not just flying through. While returning to Brunswick south on 295 roughly 15 minutes later, I turned onto the Brunswick off ramp that merges with Pleasant street. It is a sharp U turn off ramp, as you drive and before starting to turn there is a small field on the left that is lower than the roads so more like a valley; that is surrounded with pine trees. There is no access to field unless you’re pulling over on the side of the freeway and walking into it. The trees and guard rails block and vehicles from pulling into th! e field. Hovering maybe 30 feet over the valley was large, maybe the size of a school bus silver bright light. I didn’t see any actual physical object just a bright blinding light. The light seemed to be moving slightly up and down as if it was hovering. The light also seemed to thin towards the outer edges. I only remember a fragment of the moment; I don’t remember much before pulling back into my works parking lot. Just the blinding light, I don’t remember passing it or pulling away from it. I do remember looking back up into the sky and seeing that it was a clear day with few clouds. The section I saw the light by the freeway does not have any buildings in view. Even during winter when trees are bare. There are no towers with lights and the river that runs near the freeway is not in view of that section.

While Driving on Route One towards Bath, Maine, we saw a bright white lite to the East hovering in the sky for approximately 5 minutes. It was a very clear crisp night, the lights, did not flash they where solid bright white and it was stationary...the lights where brighter than the space station. We both noticed it and mentioned it to one another and while we where looking at the object the light disappeared. The object just vanished from sight.

9pm – We were in our back yard, looking up at the Moon, when we noticed two “aircraft lights” a little “west” of the moon, about the height that we usually see airplanes. Planes regularly fly over our house, at a high altitude; we see the lights blinking and sometimes a red light from the taillight. My husband said that’s weird the lights on those planes aren’t blinking. I was like oh ok who cares. Then he was like also one of them isn’t moving, they are just hovering. Then we thought helicopter?? But it seemed really high for a helicopter and we couldn’t hear anything, we can usually hear a faint roar when a plane flies over. So then one of the “lights” starts moving really slowly through the clouds heading east, while the other stayed still. An actual plane flew by as this was happening, the plane was much faster with blinking lights and we could hear it. The east light moved for about 5-6 minutes then stopped and hovered. The west light started moving really slowly as well, for about 2 minutes then stopped. They both just stayed there, seemingly equidistant from the moon (from what we could tell) for about 20 minutes before a large black storm cloud obscured them from view.

There was a bright circular object in the southern sky around 2000. It changed color from red to blue to white in a pulsing fashion. Ob
