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.

Radford, VA

There was a bright white light (a little brighter than Venus), which appeared to be very high up but moving very quickly across the sky. I t was moving SSW to NNE, and took maybe two minutes to move from one horizon to the other. It was moving in a generally straight line, but was wiggling or oscillating back and forth slightly as it flew (maybe 0.1 degrees amplitude, maybe one period per second).
