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.

I had just opened the front door of my residence to take my dog out. I saw this bright blue light which was stationary. I took out my cell phone and snapped this picture.There was no sounds and then suddenly the lights disappeared and the cube shaped thing was gone… There were no sounds or flashing nav lights that you see and hear from a aircraft. It was not a commercial plane and I’m certain it was not a drone. I’m retired from the US Air Force and flew for 18 years as a boom operator onboard a KC-135 tanker. I am certain this was not a military, civilian or commercial aircraft . This object was spotted from the southwest. My home is located less than 5 miles from Calabash and the Atlantic Ocean.

I was standing outside of The Boundary House restaurant in Calabash, North Carolina. While talking to another employee in the parking lot, I looked South into the sky and where I was looking it seemed to be in a triangle until it began to get closer, I saw two red flashing lights followed by three white flashing lights that seem to be moving together as one but spaced out, both a circular shape. The three white flashing lights seemed to be in a triangle and the white lights were placed two in the front one in the back. As the unknown source(s) passes over me and the employee’s headgoing north, slowly, the red flashing lights were still in front of the three white flashing lights. This event lasted for about 10 minutes until it passed over the trees where I could no longer see it.

While standing in our front yard, waiting for our dog to use the bathroom, me and my wife were looking across the street. It was cloudy outside with a light sprinkle of rain. No stars and moon were out. There was a gentle blowing cool breeze. We noticed a bright light in the sky to our front. We thought it was an airplane light. then the light went out. My wife thought it went in the clouds. Then all of a sudden, it appeared again, and then there was 3 bright individual lights as if it skipped like a rock skips water. It went to our left. There was no noice. You can hear a pin drop in our neighbourhood. It lasted 3 seconds. Then it was gone. Disappeared in the air. We waited to see if any more activity for 5 mins but there was none. It was a bright, flash, silvery light that was an oval shape. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
