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.

We got our binoculars out and still could not make shape. Appeared stationary, then made fast horizontal movement and disappeared. I have reported from this area before of amber lights at night. Same craft but daytime??? By the way this is in the Norway-Nelson Road area. Approx 1 mi. south of the St. Lawrence River. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lisbon, NY

Was outside and saw a red light in the sky coming towards me. I noticed it was lower than a plane and had no noise at all. Called my brother and he went out and saw it also. It then changed direction and then vanished. During this time all the dogs around were going nuts also. I have never seen anything like it in my life.
