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.

When I looked out my window I noticed 3 black objects in the distant sky moving moving in a northerly direction. These objects were spaced out some distance from each other. They appeared to be inline with each other. I got outside with my iPhone and took 3 pictures. It hard to see with these pictures you really have to zoom in. These are live pictures so they can be viewed as short movie clips to see the movement. I also took screen shots already zoomed in. I can only upload 5 images. You have to zoom in on the sky original 3 pictures and you will see objects in the sky. Don’t know if you can or not see live pictures for movement

I stepped out to my backyard, look up and saw what initially looked like a star. That star was slowly moving North away from my view. Was observing it until it disappeared behind the tree line. Later that day i saw the same object while driving the car again slowly floating about.
