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.

There is objects in the sky that at first looked like stars but then when I looked closer it was lights that were blinking . Been watching it for about a week sometimes couldn’t take picture or video because it would be kind of far away but today I did. The objects move sometimes forward sometimes in circular motion and today when I started filming it seems like it started coming down every time I looked at it through the window. At first I taught maybe it’s drawn or something but it seemed weird that the sky is full of them. And when I took a video and photo it looks like it has some kind of aura it changes shapes, kind of hard to describe.
