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 walking my dog on Tuesday from 9:45-10:18 ((p.m.)), I witnessed a constant flow of hundreds of satellites travel across the sky for roughly 33 minutes. The satellites were traveling from a north east to south west direction. It looked as if someone cast a net of hundreds of satellites over the sky. They traveled in the same direction were similar sizes and moved at the same constant speed. The sky was so full of these satellites that it reminded me of watching rush hour traffic on the freeway. I watched until the “satellite traffic” thinned out and cloud cover obstructed my view. I want to make it clear that I saw HUNDREDS of satellites and these were not the Star Link constellation or any type of meteor shower. I am an avid sky watcher and know that these were satellites. I realize that you collect UFO sightings, but I didn't know where else to share what I witnessed. I’m curious to know if anyone else reported seeing them or if anyone knows what their purpose might be.

Object seen high in the sky above air traffic. NE of Pleasanton California. The object was shiny in the sun moved side to side then stopped. The object then looked like it was moving toward us in a western direction the disappeared. During the observance it disappeared for about 10 seconds then reappeared. Couldn't see the shape, but was very bright. Color was silver with sun reflection. I watch satellites at night and was larger. Asked my wife to come out to see if she could figure out what it was. We watched it for around 3 minutes then disappeared.

We stopped and took some photos and a video clip. One of the lights slowly flew off into the west. The lights were most likely between Pleasanton and Fremont, CA. at an altitude much lower then commercial airliners, but wouldn't be out of the ordinary height for a helicopter. The witness has submitted two high-quality night photos, showing an almost full Moon, and four much smaller lights in a triangular formation. We do not know what the lights are. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Hello, I find that taking photos when the planes are spraying, often reveals anomalous images. I took this with my cell phone camera. There were no birds flying in the area at which the camera was pointed. Also, I did not see this Being/Creature/Object with my eyes when I took the photos – I could only see the plane. Less than 2 seconds later, I took another shot, and the strange Being/Creature/Object is not visible, but the plane is, and from my viewing point, it has not moved very far from where it was in the first photo.

I was outside in the backyard when I noticed a bright orange light in the sky. When I saw another light behind it, I called my daughter and her dad to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. We then noticed two more lights coming up behind them. The lights went sideways before it started to dim and disappear one by one. We didn’t hear any sounds coming from it.

Around 5pm on a clear, sunny day, I spotted a slow moving craft about 500 feet above me. I originally thought it was a small airplane and disregarded it further, but when I noticed the craft stopped and hovered I paid closer attention and realized that it was no plane. Planes don’t hover. And it was not shaped like a helicopter, it was cigar shaped. Indeed I could not see any wings or rotary blades on it, just a white cigar shaped craft with a lone slow, blinking light at the rear of the craft. The light was very interesting. It wasn’t the normal cobalt blue you might see on a plane. It was more of an aqua color, which would then become a lighter aqua after it blinked and then blink back to the darker aqua. And it would blink more slowly than a typical craft light. Even more bizarre was after about every 10 blinks, a large square black object seemed to replace the light for about 3 seconds only to be replaced back by the blue blinking light. This black door would take up about one third of the craft and then completely disappear whenever the blue light came back on. I thought maybe a cargo door was opening and closing, that’s my best guess, but the switch happened too quickly. In fact there was something that defied the laws of physics about that black square. It was so densely black that it felt like a black hole had opened up, not just a cargo door. Also, the white body of the craft seemed to have a white mist around it – its outline seemed blurred by the mist – which was odd because there were absolutely no clouds in the sky. And there was no vapor trail tailing behind the craft. By contrast the lines of the black square were extremely crisp, no mist, no blur. I pointed the object out to some passing neighbors and they too thought it was an odd craft. We all agreed it couldn’t be a blimp and but instead seemed like a UFO. After about 3 minutes the craft stopped hovering and proceeded eastbound at the same slow pace. I looked away for about 15 seconds and when I returned my gaze the craft was gone. The whole sighting was no more than 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
