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.

My Friend and I were out gazing, hoping to catch the spacex satellite train.. (we were not able to see the train this night for whatever reason.) However, at aproximately 9:30 P.M., coming from the south. We saw what looked to be a V formation of 7-8 separate bright objects 6-7 objects making up the “V” and 1 object following directly beside the V formation. They made no sound and moved at a very high rate of speed so we amused they were a cluster of satellites moving in very low earth orbit. Didn’t think too much of it till we saw the same V formation of lights coming from the south again @ 10:13P.M. If they were the same craft as 40-45 minutes before, (and I believe they were.) This implies they orbited the planet in half the time it should take to orbit!(usually around 90 min) They presumedly were traveling at about 34000miles per hour. As if that wasn’t amazing enough, as the lights passed over the second time and reached about midway in the sky, the formation began to MOVE and SHIFT OUT OF the V formation, and each “craft” sort of crisscrossed went independently of one another. Then they went out of sight again! I don’t know what to make of this… this is not tech that I've ever heard of.

A friend and I were driving home and the entire drive there was a large circular ball of orange light, we both don’t have a clue what this could have been and it seemed to lower from the sky in the west near the Twin Cities. We both tried to find any sort of logical explanation for it but we couldn’t.

I'm not sure what woke me up. It was 10:25 pm. I went to my bedroom window. It was a full moon and I could clearly see a huge, hexagonal shape moving from east to west almost directly above my house! It had no lights whatsoever, but was clearly visible in the moonlight. There were darker more complex shapes beneath it, but I only saw it for a second. It did not make a sound. It was only visible for a second, but I could see it clearly before it moved beyond my line of sight past my house. It completely freaked me out. It was so close, I would guess no more than 500 feet. I'm still not sure I believe it, but I've never sleep walked or hallucinated in my life. I'm not even a believer, or at least I wasn't.
