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.

Long Beach, WA

Last night (8.22.18) while listening to Coast to Coast, I heard Peter davenport mention the witness' at Long beach that spotted a UFO. I live about 2 miles south of the reported incident. It was already dark out, due to the smoke from British Columbia and the marine air that pushed the fog onto the shore. I was outside on my deck talking to my wife on the cell phone when I saw the craft moving north to south at about 60 degrees above the horizon. There was no sound---just what appeared to be 4 red lights in a tight circular and or square pattern. It didn't look like the typical lights pattern of a commercial or private aircraft. I wasn't able to get my phone switched to video mode fast enough but did get one photo taken, which sadly doesn't do much justice to what I way (( My report on Coast to Coast on August 22, 2018, addressed a sighting in Long Beach, California, no Washington.
