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.

After the first one passed it disappeared. The 2nd object did not pass but all of a sudden disappeared.

Blue Island, IL

We live in the south suburb of Blue Island, my wife called me to the porch to view a low flying, cross shaped, "aircraft" (~19:30) with bright solid red light ... coming from the south and heading northeast toward the Chicago loop, or over Lake Michigan area. The craft made no sound - flying is a straight line ... probably about a house length or two apart with exception of the last three that came over ~ 5 minutes later. The last one appeared to circle back to go south . I recorded the flyover on my Samsung ... rather blurry images.
