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.

Probably a duplicate report from the same source as another almost identical report. PD

Abingdon, MD

Very fast and round sphere flying through the sky in Abingdon, Maryland. Video the sphere and picture is the escort plane flying next to it. Another above average temperature along with breathtaking sunsets observed in Maryland on, February 23. As I have been reporting since January 28 after experiencing and reporting a very directed vibrating current sound that affected myself and one other person, there has been a measurable increase in "aircraft activity" daily. Today, I observed more activity in the couple hours leading up to sunset than I ever had up until this point. I'm hoping someone can help answer some questions about all of this.
