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.

Oberlin, OH

Was walking through Oberlin black river/plum creek corridor and the clouds had just dissipated looked up at stars and noticed a round golden/fire like ball moving slowly in a straight line followed by five more following the same distance apart and eventually disappearing, there were now contrails. 30 seconds after that I saw a comet entering and completely dissipating into atmosphere right above the highest canopy tree. I stumbled to grab my phone and video shortly realizing it was at home, this was surly a sight to see as I have never seen anything like it before.

Yellow and red lights were heading south, then abruptly stopped and stayed in the area for about 3 hours going back and forth in erratic movements, then at 6:49 two saucers passed by clear as day, gray saucers with red and yellow lights surrounding the circumference and disappeared.

Saw at 3 a.m. what I assumed to be a plane with red and white lights on it flying about a mile away. It stopped though within view of my window and up until 5:30 when I fell asleep it stayed within view moving in short random movements (up, down, right , left and so forth). I then woke up at 6:50 due to a noise and I looked at that area and the Craft was gone. However two classic shaped ufo crafts (saucers) with white lights surrounding the whole craft went by my window within a blink of an eye. It too fast for me too see anything inside and I don’t know if it ever came back as I covered my windows after this incident as it was terrifying to me.
