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.

Hoquiam, WA

A very bright light in the sky which I first assumed to be a star. Stayed stationary for a long time, then moved rapidly to the west and disappeared.

Hoquiam, WA

I first saw 2 orange lights flying from the east that started changing directions as if flying in formation. 2 more sets of 2 fireball type crafts, then became visible, all moving west at first, next to each other, then moving behind each other, before shooting straight up into space. At that time, 3 others were watching with me. It was only then that I was able to get video of the last one, as it passed overhead and disappeared into the black sky. There was no sound from any of the crafts. A couple minutes later I witnessed military jets patrolling grid patterns.
