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.

I was walking my dog around 7 AM on December 31, 2022, while talking to my friend on the phone. I live in a somewhat small town that is in a rural area. It was still dark out as the sun does not rise until 730 or 740 this time of year. I looked up in the sky, as I have been trying to be more present and observant lately. I started meditating a few months back and started researching uaps and so I’ve spent more time looking up in the sky and being present. I saw what appeared to be a glowing orb that seem to be no more than a few hundred feet at most above the tree line, and appeared to be no more than a few blocks away. There were no stars present. I got off the phone with my friend and pulled out my phone to record. I state in the video that it is 5am but I was in shock and didn’t know the actual time. I waited a few seconds because I needed to wrap my head around what I was saying and that was why I got off the phone. When I saw the object was moving diagonally upward, and there were no other stars in the sky it seemed to be some sort of UAP. The object appeared to glow and pulsate and change colors and shapes. I observed the object moving from the north where I originally saw it in a north east fashion, eventually ending up almost straight east. It would float and move diagonally vertically and horizontally in all directions, and did not appear to be going with the wind. When I say float, I mean more that it moved effortlessly and did not appear to have any propulsion, and made no sound. It was able to stop and hover at times and remain completely stationary as well. It had no ordered flight path in a way yet did not seem to be going with wind patterns and appeared to be controlled in some form or another. I recorded it for close to 20 minutes And was watching it at almost all times. Toward the end of my experience, I went inside and even got my fiancé to view it. It did not move from the spot in the clouds in the final video while I ran inside briefly. The object was glowing white, and perhaps appeared to slightly blink or pulsate at times, but never changed color that I could really see. It was clearly larger and I was able to view it much better when it was closer to the tree line, than when it went up into the sky. when it finished on the east after about 20 minutes of viewing, it hovered in the clouds much higher than I have ever seen a drone or anything else go. It sat there without moving in the clouds for a good five minutes or so until it seem to either disappear or fly off very quickly, or for some reason, we just lost sight of it

My stepdad and I witnessed a fluorescent green tube of light glide across sky. It came from the southeast sky, glided above the neighborhood and across the sky into the northwest horizon. It was dusk so it was easy to see that there was no light trail or tail behind the green glowing “glow stick.” It was flying below airplane level and at about the level that helicopters fly at in that area. Based on its estimated elevation and distance from us, we guess that it was greater than 40 but smaller than 100 feet. The “green glow stick” made no sound and moved in a very straight, smooth line. Glided is the best way to describe its motion. Our background: we’re a regular ‘ol working-class family. My stepdad is retired from a local water district and I work full time. On the day of the sighting we were sitting on his back porch watching for shooting stars and faces towards the north-northwest when he noticed the “green glow stick” emerge from the corner of his eye out of the south-southeast. He called to me and my husbands attention to look several times. About the third time he said “hey look!” is when I saw the UAP. I watched it glide off into the N-NW.

Thought I would provide an IFO report since you will likely get some reports on this. Observed StarLink train of satellites approx 1920h cross WNW to E relative to Pilot Butte at approximately 30 deg alt to horizon. The train per se spanned about 10 degrees (closed fist width at arms length). Much brighter than reference stars in Ursa Major that it passed below. An amazing sight and I can see why folks who don’t know what they are would think it was a UFO armada.

Missing time. Last night Brandon and I finished playing a game of chess and we’re going to go to the store. We got dressed and left at what I thought was around 11:00 pm. We drove down the hill and when we got to the store it was already closed. We were a little taken back because it was supposed to be open. We elected to go to the gas station for some beer and a pizza. When we went inside the attendant said “good morning, what are you guys doing here so early?” We were both like, uh, okay and we went to grab a 6 pack of beer but the doors were all locked and Bran says, what’s up, why are these locked? The attendant said it’s 6:00 in the morning. We got a pizza and went back up the hill. We are completely baffled! Where did 7 hours go? We went to bed and literally slept until 6am the next day, which is today. I woke up to go to the bathroom and I about fell down in pain. It feels like I have a broken foot. I didn’t injure myself, it’s just I’m a ton of pain and can’t walk on it. I have this huge feeling of anxiety. My hubby who is a scientist isn’t really a believer accept for the fact that the universe is vast and probably has some life in it. We can NOT remember where 7 hours went. I don’t have any recollection of being abducted or anything like that but for two of us to have experienced this is just mind blowing and completely confusing. It should be Monday, it’s Tuesday. We went to the store Sunday night, it should be Monday. Can anybody point me in a direction that I may be able to learn about what happened with us? I’ve researched a little and it seems it’s a phenomenon of alien abductions...
