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.

Canfield, OH

With the Covid situation it has forced the couple to shop in much different ways than normal. They were looking for a farm market to see if they had any vegetables. As the man and his wife were on an out of the way road, mid afternoon, he sighted something about 800 foot off the ground, oval and very shiny, with the sun reflecting off of it, slowly moving up and down. He asked his wife if she was seeing what he was seeing and she confirmed that she also saw it ahead of them. As they drew closer and had a better view of it, the shape was almost a perfect elongated oval, they could not see if there were any lights on it because of the reflection of the sun. As they approached the object it made a slight wobble and shot straight up and disappeared in the blink of an eye. His wife had always been a non-believer of such things but never kept him from his interests. Now, she said, "I always thought you were crazy, but I can't argue with what I saw." At 3! :45 pm, the sun was setting in the southwest, clear sky, very little wind , no one else in the area (farm country).
