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.

Shaver Lake, CA

We were at our cabin in the mountains and getting ready to leave. As we approached our car, I noticed in the northern sky, just above the tree line a string of lights flying in a straight line from West to East. They were evenly spaced and all going about the same speed. I would normally think it would be a satellite, but there were so many of them. This "parade" or formation of lights lasted for several minutes, I would say at least 3 minutes. They faded and gradually disappeared as they headed East. There had to be over 100 "lights". Eventually they stopped, but it was a very consistent formation, a straight line of lights all flying across the sky (not falling like a meteor, or space debris) They were too far away to see any shape or color Although I am somewhat skeptical of UFO's, I don't disbelieve. This is definitely the first time I have ever made any type of report. My background: I have a college education, am over 60 yrs old and do not drink alcohol or do drugs.

I only stopped to take A picture of A wild fire in the middle of winter. I took two real quick pictures with my cell phone and went on my way. Was headed to Shaver Lake to look at new houses being built, when I noticed a column of smoke rising from the easterly direction. I pulled over as I said and took two quick pictures. Two days later, when I am looking at picture on my phone that I took an hour later of job sites I was looking at, I noticed something in the pictures I took of the Smoke! I have no idea what it was? We have viewed the photos, and all we see is a tiny dark spot. The object could be a bird, possibly a relatively large soaring bird, we suspect. PD
