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.

I called for my wife to come see what I was seeing and she saw at least 7 or 8 and went back inside because it was cold. As I continued to watch I started noticing that it appeared that random stars would start moving in all different directions to many to count. Went back out half hour later, gave it 10 minutes and didn't see anything further. I didn't bother trying to video, it was dark and my phone takes terrible videos.

Estacada, OR

Drove the rest of the way to my house and looked up and saw the flash which seemed to last for several seconds. Then lost sight of it, not to see it again. Also, there were four jets flying at high altitude, one was flying to the east of the craft flying north to south. Another was to t! he west and flying about east to west. The third, was first and it appeared to alter its path around the objust, it was south of the object flying south to north and if not altering course, may have intercepted the object. A fourth, was a couple minutes behind the third and followed the same path but according to the condensation trail which faded quickly, altered path at a earlier space. Could have been a radiation detection balloon, but never saw one of those before.

8:57 PM I was sitting on a bench at the local park with my boyfriend and his daughter when I heard another child say to her, “Look! There’s two moons!” As my eye was drawn to where he was pointing I noticed the shimmering shape hovering in the sky. It was a small diamond shaped craft covered in bright bands of light that seemed to brighten and then dim as it wavered in the air, preventing me from being able to determine what size the craft truly was. The craft appeared to be an entire rainbow of colors which could only be seen when it turned tail and flew off about a minute later. Instinctively, I grabbed my phone and took a short video of the craft before ducking for cover so it could not spot me. In practice, I am a Healthcare Professional, but ever since I watched “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” as a child I have had a profound interest in Extraterrestrial activity on Earth. My boyfriend is generally supportive of my interests and is also intrigued by the Paranormal. Together we have taken a few trips to famous UFO sighting hotspots with no luck until now. We both hope that this video can aid its viewers in the search for the truth.
