Ask for the records

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.

It was shinny, but had black in the bottom. No wings. No clouds or anything else in the sky. I pulled over, got out of me car and it was gone.

Fox Lake, IL

Saw yellow/bronze colored triangular shaped object slowly traveling from south to north below clouds maybe 2000 feet high (?) My wife went for camera and object appeared to slowly rise vertically ascending upwards perhaps on an 85 degree angle until it was just a black dot and we lost sight of it. Duration maybe 3 minutes. There was no discernible audio sounds as in an engine noise. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
