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.

Hillsville, VA

Hillsvile, VA...Bright white object falling from sky, turned to green just before it "burned out". Had a tail much like meteorite but was very bright/metallic and was very close. It wasn't far above the tree line when it dissipated. Have seen 2 similar objects over Galax, VA, also but did not document dates...they were identical except were white and faded to vivid blue instead of green.
