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.

Me and my wife were outside at 2:00pm and saw 2 ships. One small ship and one very large ship. It came right over the trees with NO sounds at all. Both were traveling at speeds we have never see a flying aircraft fly at. The first ship seemed to be trying to get away from the lager ship. About 10 seconds in the larger ship lite up a very bright orange and seemed to shot out 3 laser beams or fire balls at the first ship. The first ship avoid them and seemed to go faster the it was traveling before. After about other 10 to 15 seconds and more good flying the smaller ship went right up and the lager one follow it. No sound at all the hole time. I would say that the lager ship was about 2 miles long and a teardrop shape. Please let me know if any one else saw this. We have amended the time above, and reposted on July 10, 2015. PD

There was a little wind that evening but the Illuminated Orb did not waver in its path. I call my daughter who had just enough time to see it before it flew out of sight. It appeared to be 200 to 300 feet above my house when I first saw it. I could see nothing in the orb. It was half the size of a full moon and illuminated as bright as it first passed overhead and, of course, appeared smaller as it zoomed away in the night sky.
