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.

The craft was in the northwestern sky above the tree line, as I was heading home from work. It was visible for about half a minute, and looked as if it was stationary, or moving very slowly. The shape of the object looked like a triangle, with the right side being longer in length than the left. The craft was moving slowly, and I lost sight of it as soon as I cleared the trees onto Snelling Avenue. I would put it at between 10-20,000 feet in the air, and it was brightly shining against the sun. The craft was not visible once I broke the trees. I was trying to film it with my phone camera but could not keep the camera steady as I was driving northbound. I later reviewed the footage and did not see the UFO on the camera. It may have disappeared by the time I started filming. The color of the craft matched the sun flare off of it, however the shape of the craft told me something was different. A few minutes prior to this, I heard what sounded like a jet liner going west to east, probably landing at Minneapolis/St. Paul International. The sound of the jet passing over was too low to be this object.

Like in New Mexico, they have small earthquakes everyday. So if there were polar nitric acid ice sheet chunks flying by during an earthquake of microwaves. Wouldn’t the microwave go up to the very conductive acid ice chunks and produce a high altitude microwave electromagnetic pulse?

It didn’t have trails like con trails. So I did some research, and these foo fighters are 16miles or 85,000 feet up in the stratosphere range. Where there are polar acid ice clouds. And since they (ufo) fly at 110 miles per hour, as seen with declassified pentagon footage. My thoughts were. What if the polar acid ice sheets broke apart, then went flying through polar jet streams? Iridescent and the sunlight scatters off the particles in the acid ice? The eye can see 12 miles up, 30 miles up on a clear day. Around 16 miles is acid ice sheet chunks and jet streams sort of thing?

- My dad got to see one of my star friends at around 10:05pm, Tuesday, 4/7/2020. Around 9:30pm I went outside on my deck and laid on my reclining chair with a wool blanket. I always say quietly, "Come on alien friends, star friends show me something up there please." Nothing happened. Then I shined my 5mW [5 mega-watt] green laser at one point in the sky for about 5 seconds and then turned it off like fishing. Then I waited. That seems to draw them in. About 3 to 5 minutes after that I started seeing my alien/star friends. They look like stars moving across the sky. A light turns on, moves across the sky a little bit, and then slowly turns off the light. In the same spot, about 5 times, a light turned on, moved across the sky, then turned off, then another what appeared as a new light turned on, faded across the sky in the same path and turned off; 5 times that happened. So I went inside and called my dad on the phone to come see this. ! He got out on his deck next to my deck in about 5 minutes. Then I said "Show yourself again, my dad is out here." About 2 minutes later a very bright star like object moved from south to north above our houses, I pointed next to it using my green laser so my dad could see; He was in pain because his back has been hurting him, but he said he saw it. It faded out completely. It was very bright at first and completely faded out while moving from south to north. This was my first 2020 ufo/alien experience. - 4-18-2020 around 9:30pm neighbors Mike and Janet and I all saw a light moving across the sky from south-west to north-east similar to a satellite but then after it goes by another one would come. This happened 5 times or more on 4/7/2020 and another 5 times or so when standing in my driveway looking at the stars with my neighbors. Then I laid in my reclining chair on my deck and it happened another 10 times or so and saw 2 of the headed in the same direction but they were pretty far apart from one another. I said “Come down here alien friends” and saw a light turn ON to the East and then OFF. I said THANK YOU. Then about 10 minutes later a light about 250 feet above the pond in my back yard from East to West fell like a falling star effect. My neighbors were outside because they said someone told them to go outside and look at the lights in the sky [ufo’s]. - Around 10:15pm 4/26/2020 laying back on my reclining chair on my deck I saw the fastest light going across the sky that I ever have seen so far. It was moving from West to East looking over my roof while laying on my reclining chair. I said THANK YOU and then the light slowly faded out before the object went out of view. Usually objects/lights will continue moving until out of view. They purposely turn their lights off BEFORE going out of view with me. And then… about 15 minutes after that I saw a huge flash of light in the sky north-east [Imagine those fireworks that create a FLASH of light with a big BOOM!!! I saw that but without the big boom sound]. They’ve done that before for me last summer. - About 3:40am 4/27/2020 I had one of my favorite alien/ufo experiences. I was laying back in my reclining deck chair looking at the stars waiting to see if my alien/star friends show me anything. And then where I was looking, in front and up I saw a light moving from south-west to north-east really dim but I could see it. I said THANK YOU. And then BAM… a bright light flashed to my left, much closer to the ground. I looked in that direction hoping to see another flash… nothing, and then BAM another flash of light I saw clearly… and then the light faded in slowly, out slowly as it was moving from west to east… and them BAM!!! a super bright light with sharp edges [the light seemed to have detail, like lines coming out in all directions], and then it went back to fading in and out as it moved East until it went out of view. Meanwhile, that first light I saw kept appearing in the same place and then moving from south-west to north-east, and when it went out of view it wo! uld repeat again starting in the same place like it circled around and followed the same path. It did that 7 or so times. This was one of my favorite experiences tonight. So cool, amazing, awesome!!! - 5/9/2020 around 3:30am I saw a small flash of light to the East, the a little North-East, and again. I said “Come down here.” Then to my right [south] about 20 feet from me, about 30 feet from the ground, flying mostly horizontal with a little downward angle was a light that looked like a red hot piece of coal with a trail behind it [It looked like a mixture of black, orange, yellow like how red hot embers/ashes look].

I seen 27 starlike lights moving across the sky. One by one about a minute apart. I didn’t see exactly where they came from as they were appearing over the roof of my house. They were moving from SW to NE before disappearing with a very faint vapor or something.
