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.

While looking up at two stars, one of the two floated over to me. The star came close when it floated over. I didn’t think to start recording, until it started to hover. So, I missed it floating over to me. While I sat at my table, on the deck, I started recording. It looked like a star with the naked eye. But, in the video it looks like an orb. The star hovered over the trees. I wasn’t scared at all. I sang a song to it. Then, I said, good night.

Eaton Rapids, MI

I had brought my dog outside as she woke me up at this unusual time for her. I looked up at the beautiful clear night sky and then had seen lights up in the sky. I had wiped my eyes in disbelief as I had seen a disc shaped craft with red moving lights on outside undernieth the craft with white lights next to it moving as well but not fast. It was just above the trees about 100 feet aprox. It was very large and moved around 25mph it was moving in the direction of NW. It also made a sound kinda like an airplane but smoother and not as loud like a fan motor reving up and cooling down it reved up slow and down slow. That sound is something I will NEVER forget. I had watched it for about 5 minutes moving NW at 25mph the craft seemed so close and so large. If I had a guess of how big it was I would say 100ft circumfrence and it seemed flat like a disc. I have heard of these things being seen in the past but never was really sure it was for real. Now that I have seen this I now believe even more. I hope you take me seriously as this is not a houx. In the past month or so I have seen these lights from a far distance but never thought anything of it. But now it is close and very obvious of what it is. The background was a clear beautiful star night.
