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.

Saw a Y shaped light in the Western sky about 35 degrees up. It was gold in color and was stationery. It was 1/8 the size of the moon. It was above the clouds because it was hidden by clouds occasionally. Called a neighbor a mile away and they saw it too. I was not drinking or smoking anything. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a skilled witness, and reliable. PD

I saw a light yellow sphere of light appear in the night sky then traveled away at a high rate of speed, then it just vanished.

I also noticed that another truck had pulled off to the side of the road. I passed the truck and stopped also and tried to look for the lights but I didn't see them anymore. The black truck had left and I also left. I don't know if they seen the lights, too, but we both stopped in the same area. I went home got ready for work and recently looked at the 11 second film and was happy to see I did capture it. It looks flat like when I first seen them, but in the picture (still frame) I can see the contrails of each light. I don't want to here Chinese lanterns either. They use that excuse for everything now. I would like a real educated guess. I think ufo cause it just vanished after like 30 to 40 seconds. Do ur own still frame and tell me what it is please. Seen in Texas City, TX.
