Ask for the records

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.

Ottawa, KS

I live in east central Kansas, at approximately 6:00 I was observing a cloudless sky just before sunrise, admiring the big dipper and I saw a row of lights. I counted 15 at least. perfectly spaced, traveling In a northeastern direction at what must have been a height altitude, no sound and all had matched speeds except for one that’s was offset Slightly from the rest moving faster. I hope more people report.
