The report, as filed
I was walking my dog in the back yard, when I happened to look up and noticed a series of flashing lights in the sky over the farm across the road. It appeared to be a central white light with faint red lights flashing in a random pattern around it, I observed the lights for approxamitley twenty minutes it remained stationary for the entire time before seeming to fade away. I am a grounded college educated individual with a background in history.

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 on my way to work, and I noticed in the distance 2 bright lights that seemed to move together. By the time I reached the end of the road I saw 4 lights. It was almost above me and I could see a trapezoid shape and 1 of the lights was constantly flashing. I got out of my car and for as close and as low as it was I should have heard it. I heard nothing of any known aircraft. I watched it for about a min outside of my car. Then decided to try to follow it. I only got about a mile or 2 down the road and it was well out in the distance fast. I did try to film it but only got a dot on my screen.
