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.

At just about 11pm I saw a UFO. It was the most brilliant thing I've EVER seen. That thing zipped around the Milton area, towards where the fire works were and the dog park is. It cut across the sky with a brilliant white rooster tail, then it would hop across the sky without a tail. It would very quickly appear, then disappear in the blink of an eye. It looked kind of tube like, with no rhyme or reason about which end the tail came out of. This all happened in about 15 seconds, then the craft zipped across the sky heading towards the lights I believe were coming from Essex Junction or even Burlington with a very long tail. I now can rest easy, I KNOW that UFO'S exist. I'm shaking like a leaf as I type this, I'm still in shock. SERIOUSLY, WHO do I call to report this? VTANG? The Burlington Airport? The media? And there is no possibility it was a drone, or even a group of drones. Or fireworks, satellites, or even Starrlink. It was a UFO. HELP!

I looked out my window and saw a great orange fireball with a glowing center moving at a steady pace from south to north. I then got my mothers attention and she saw the object change course and start heading east as it disappeared behind the trees and horizon.

On the night of May 29th 2021 I felt strongly compelled to lookout at sky at 1030pm my attention was drawn to Southwest area of the sky. I saw a bright light brighter then the rest of the stars closer than the rest of the stars. I thought it was the North Star but it was too close to the ground - and within moments this light moved parallel to my left , more south I would guess, and then the light went out. It moved for approx 3-4 seconds at a speed that I could track easily. I searched for it thinking it was too good to be true and thought perhaps a slow shooting star when it reappeared in the same spot it went out. Again the brightest light of all the stars and it retraced its path back to the original spot I saw it again moving slow enough to track with my eyes and suddenly within a second it picked up speed moved downward toward earth in a S shape and disappeared. I came back from sticking my head out the window and closed it and the shade as I was freaked out and alone with my kids. This next part will sound very strange and I don’t care if anyone believes it or not because I will cherish it forever as an experience for me. I also haven’t told anyone except my husband and mom for fear of being laughed at. It was the next night I don’t know exactly what time I would guess between 11pm- 3am I opened my eyes while laying in bed and saw about 5 feet in front of me next to my standing mirror a small alien looking at me. In my head I said “oh you’re here” I wasn’t afraid or anything it was a rather calming feeling. But I got the sense it was male no clothing green gray skin large eyes no hair thin limbs not an oval head but more E.T. shaped head with a small mouth. Where it stood near my mirror I’d estimate it’s height around 4-4 1/2 feet tall. When I blinked they was gone. I also heard a sound on the opposite side of the bedroom near my husbands dresser about 15 feet from the mirror. It was an experience I will never forget and haven’t had one sense. I’m watching Dave Paulides new ufo connection movie on Amazon and saw him talking with Peter Davenport and said I have to report this! I didn’t know there was a place to report it legitimately! Thank you for everything you do in your work!

They stood still for 15 seconds, then they seemed to rearrange themselves. It looked like 4 airplanes with no wing lights flying in formations that kept changing.

My friend and I watched it for about a minute or so and the orange light split into two lights, hovered for half a minute or so and then vanished.

Myself and three friends were having a small fire in my backyard. I looked up into the sky and saw four green, glowing lights moving south to north. The four lights were moving very slowly when I first saw them, as I pointed them out to a friend they increased speed and vanished from sight. The lights seemed to be part of the same craft. Soon after seeing the light multiple owls (2 or 3) started hooting and screeching.
