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.

One night my family and I were watching the international space station fly over. About ten minutes after it had passed, I looked up to see what looked like stars flying around in erratic directions. I pointed it out, and one by one, we all saw them. It started out to be two, but then more came and they appeared to be almost chasing each other and playing around. It wasn't debris from the space station because of the erratic motions and speed, and it wasn't bugs because the star like lights would fly behind clouds and comeback out the other side. We watched for several minutes as they chased, darted, fly across the sky then stop and fly the opposite directions. Towards the end of it there were almost two dozen but they all emerged into one light the size of the North Star and then fizzled out like smoke. We called are local news channel to report it, but they pretty much called us nuts and told us to record it, but our video camera had been chewed up by our dog and the lights were too small to zoom in on. I'm not a big UFO believer but I don't know what it was. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) This is not a hoaxed report, I am just not sure if the date. I believe it was August of 2006 but I am not sure ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness does not indicate a date of the alleged sighting. We have assigned an arbitrary date. Possible hoax?? PD

I saw multiple orangish spheres in the shape of a perfect triangle and watched it till I couldn't see anymore. There wasn't any sound.

Gallatin, TN

Several unknown items shaped somewhat like a fireball in formation form at times in sky, some one at a time, other times a whole cluster of them, appearing in the distant horizon and moving at same speed and disappearing in the same location farther towards opposite horizon. Very small, yellow/gold color, somewhat like the sun the way it moves when it burns, but was a solid light, not a blinking light like an airplane light. The tail of it came out the bottom, kind of spiked in appearance. They would come as a cluster at one moment and then the next time would be one at a time, but closely following each other. At one point, they looked to make some sort of formation before the next bout would appear. Then they all stopped appearing.
