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.

Litchfield, CT

I was leaving work and heading home, on Route 118 , there are woods on both sides, of the road, a bronze color, U.F.O. came from the right side of the woods and almost clipped my vehicle. I stopped my vehicle and the thing realized it was going to hit me, and it was going vertical, then horizontal, because it was also trying to avoid the trees. And then it stopped, and it was just above the ground. And I could not believe it, and just left! Because, I was in shock, in what just happened! And there were no lights!
