The report, as filed
My 2 coworkers and I were taking out the garbage, one of them saw what appeared to be a constellation in the eastern sky. I looked up and thought “wow, I have never seen that constellation before.” Upon looking closer we saw that the objects were moving. They looked like stars, a few brighter than the rest and one being much bigger and square shaped. They were moving from west to east, directly overhead. The formation was about the size of the Big Dipper. There were at least 30 objects, maybe even 60 and possibly more. There were some flying backwards, some diagonal, but most were staying straight. I called my friend and he confirmed seeing them for a short time. As soon as they were in the vicinity of the moon, we could no longer see them. During the sighting I tried to take a picture or video with my phone but that program was not working.

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 driving south of Virginia Dare trail, when I noticed two bright yellow lights in the sky. One was to the left of the Albermarle Sound, and one was to the right of the Albermarle Sound. The lights would flash and go away. Once the lights flash, the objects were getting closer to the water. Almost like free falling. Sightings lasted about a minute than they disappeared.

I saw one light in the sky, then another joined it. They were in a north-south line. One went out as my boyfriend came outside. We both saw the one that was left, then 3 others joined it, still in a north-south line. They blinked off one at a time.

When in 2016 on vacation I looked outside in the sky and saw three disks with 9 lights on each all flying in formation, and the way I knew it wasn’t a plane is because it was very low flying and it made no noise
