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.

Powhatan, VA

I was following behind my fiance in my car, going west on Route 60 through Powhatan. We had just entered the county line. It was dark and cloudy outside with a good amount of wind and a slight drizzle. We both saw a huge bright blue flash from above the clouds that turned red towards the north part of the sky. It looked like an explosion from behind the clouds. I turned my music off and listened for a boom or sound and it was silent. This happened 20 minutes ago and there are no thunderstorms or severe weather in the area.
