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.

Waycross, GA

I stepped outside to smoke before bed, & while looking north, I noticed an unusual Red light moving from west to east at approximately 70 mph. Immediately I checked the Flightradar 24 app on my IPhone. There was no aircraft in the area whatsoever. This light was brighter than normal & the weather was clear at that time of the night. I estimated the altitude to be about 10 degrees above the horizon. Also noted was the fact there was no sound associated with the light. Had it been an aircraft, I would have certainly been able to hear it. The estimated distance from my location was approximately one mile. I observed the light for about 7 seconds until it disappeared behind a copse of trees. It did not resume its path once behind the trees. The object appeared to be following near the path of the Satilla River.
