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.

Berkley, MI

I saw at first a very small white dot very high in the sky. I thought it was a party balloon. But it was so high and wasn’t moving, so then I believed it to be a planet, even though it was sunny and daylight out. But then I began to see more, eventually 7 in total. I took several videos zooming in and out to show the distance and altitude. The objects did not make sense to me.
