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.

Canton, TX

On Nov 21, 2020 around 1:09PM in the afternoon I was walking my dog and the sun went partway behind this big cloud. I looked up and saw some pretty colors like the aurora lights, close to what I can describe. I took a few pictures and then continued walking my dog. Later I looked at the pictures and to my surprise there was something in the picture. I never saw it because sun was pretty bright and I was looking at the colors and not above the cloud. I don’t know if this is anything or not but thought I would send in and see. Just really interested in what it is. I am sending in a couple of pictures. One you can see it clear but the other you can barely see it at the top of the cloud head. It looks like a sphere with some reflective mirrors on it but could be just a play of lights. I’m not sure so I’m sending to the experts. I did not hear anything just saw the pretty colors in the clouds. Thanks for looking into this.
