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.

at first we noticed 5 red glowing lights north of us coming from the west. we calmly observed these objects as a total of 8 emerged. These objects are not man made due to their movements and color. Silent, no noise heard from the eight, red, glowing circles. the objects/ufo's are identical in description in the ufo's witnessed in phoenix az. the objects we witness did not hover in one spot but rather moved around amoungst each other, as they flew dead from the west and shortly as we took notice of them, they changed course, continuing now north as if avoiding chicago international (ORD), and executive (pwk) airports.
