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.

Around 8:30ish pm- still light out, my husband and I watched a shiny whitish-silver bright tube (cylinder) shaped object float slowly in the sky going west and a little south. It seemed to be very high and had no visible wings or tail and was silent. It rolled a little at one point 45 degrees and showed a bright light and rolled back. As it disappeared, a jet came by going south east towards O’Hare and was loud. Immediately after the jet passed, another tube shaped item appeared and rolled at exactly the same spot. At first we thought the object was a blimp or some type of helicopter but it made no noise. Was pretty strange and stranger to see that others have seen a simalar object. Weather balloon or military? Who knows. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

(I saw this same thing on Monday, October 8th, 2018, 22:55 hrs., in Barrington, Illinois, with clear skies. Me and my dog originally saw 3 orange-ish lights, all in one line, stacked on top of each other, like a traffic light....the lights were spaced closely to one another, changing color to like yellowy color and back to orange.) Barrington/Barrington Hills, SW Night Sky...Sunday 11/4/2018 about 9:36 pm/21:36 hrs. some clouds in the night sky, but it had been raining most of the day and night. Cold 48' and ptly cloudy skies. At time of sighting no rain. Some clouds moving in night sky. Tonight took my dog potty, and floating about a half mile or less away in the night sky (in Barrington/Barrington Hills sky) were these same 3 orange colored lights. They were obstructed behind a barren tree, I took photos and a video, but it kept moving and reappearing a few hundred feet from where it was. I ran into my house, took photos using night mode, and took a video… I am including it for your review. My wife came out, and saw it also and she thought first it was a drone, then secondly, that it was a satellite. She is unsure what it is. This is my second sighting and now I have another witness and some photos. I do not hear anything, and none of the lights on the object are blinking or flashing red....object does change colors from orange to yellow ish and back to orange. Update I went back outside with binoculars and my camera, and now it is raining, but I took some more photos of the area it was in. I did not see the object/s this time. I would like to know if anyone is seeing/seen these lights/objects in the area?

1st time me & dog have both been in observance of 3 orange lights, all in one line, spaced closely to one another. Moved directly over my neighbors house, 1,000 feet above perhaps. 3 orange lights had no noise, no blinking lights. Stopped directly over my house and stopped. My dog and I stared directly at the orange 3 lights, as my dog did also...both looking up for like 2 minutes. They as I tried to take photos, 3 orange lights immediately flew upwards. So fast out of sight. No photos. I came inside my house & my wife asked why we were both outside so long... She said both outside over for 45 minutes...I said no, we me and dog, just went outside to let dog go potty...quickly. She looked outside couple of windows but saw or heard nothing. She asked me, so were did those 40 plus minutes go? Experience has left me sleepless tonight.

I was coming home, and I just randomly see these blinking dots in the sky of different colors. Is it UFO or drones? I also have been seeing these for the past two weeks. What is going on? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
