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.

Wilkeson, WA

My husband and I up above Wilkeson, Wash. on Plum Creek Rt, on our way home from our weekly trip to Mt. Rainier, when we pulled over to let some other vehicles pass that we had seen earlier. I was lighting a cigarette when I first noticed it. I said, "Look at that!" to my husband. It was triangle shaped, zig-zagging back and forth, a dark grey or black, with 2 green lights on the rear and 1 red one on the front. It continued this for about 30 seconds coming closer to us. We were facing west, when it suddenly shot off to the south and disappeared. We have made weekly trips to the area for the last 15 years and know it very well. This is not the first sighting we have had in the area.
