A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last night i was on my phone, when it started acting up. When i went exit a page it would a slurping-like noise, In general it was slower.after this i look out my window i see a object flashing white lights about 10 or 20 feet above the treetops (I think). I didnt go and investigate as it was late and I didnt want to wake anyone. It is now the morning i have been hearing planes outside. If it was not a ufo it could have been flying out of Selfridge which is a nearby military base.

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.
