The report, as filed

I was with my wife,heading south, going to store in my auto. noticed a bright white flash of light in sky the about 6 city blocks from me .thought it might be a low flying helicopter.proceeded south and noticed 2 yellowish orange lights where the initial flash came from. I then pulled into store parking lot, almost under lights.grabbed my binoculars and got out of the car.looked up and could see nothing but blacker than the sky and still 2 lights.leaned down into car and said to my wife,do u see that?what the hell is that? Looked up,now 3 lights in triangle shape, hovering...still no sound, and had a Feeling it or they seen me....whatever it was ,was big,based on light pattern,and i would say it was about 400 yards in the air,i am not positive, but i would say 3 or 4 football fields in the air. still not seeing anything thru binocs but blacker than the sky triangle. i put binocs in car, look up and its gone....do a 360 and the only thing i see is a small rectangle of! light as bright as the first flash i seen, heading north/ northeast and getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared from my view in a heartbeat. still dumbfounded....not a big UFO guy. Didnt know who to report it too or if i should even bother. But i cant stop wondering what this was. can be reached by email provided if necessary. thank you.

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.
