The report, as filed

At around midnight Jan 26, 2019 my dogs started baking and running to windows, they do this when car comes up my road, I live near shiny rock wilderness seclude and along. I opened back door, went out on back deck, of my house. Didn't see anything, so walked back to door, was going look on other side of house,up the mountain. But saw lights green and white metal object moving into view about 50 ft away, 15 to 20 hovering slow above the pavement, straight forward flying slow, first I thought it maybe helicopter but no sound except the wind it was cold windy last night.it was dark and object seam to be as big as truck, but not tell it shape, looking through the trees. No way possible helicopter could fly that close to trees and power wires that low, not possible. It hovered there maybe 30 seconds 50 ft from me. I started feeling kinda weak and dissy, like going off the deck.then it hovered down the above the road and pick up speed not fast flew back house ma! ybe 500 yrds stoped hovered again for 30 to 45 seconds moving slow. Then shot to top of mountain, half mile super fast , gone 1 second. It looked round with green and white lights. As seen flying up at that angle. Let my Dogs out, they run barking in the. road were it hovering in the back looking uproad

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.

Canton, NC

We all watched as it went completely across our field of vision, which thankfully we have a large area that is cleared of anything that could possibly inhibit our line of sight. I would give an absolutely 100% time frame, but I was so stunned by what I was seeing, that I stood there dumbfounded, for several minutes and then we all stood there and discussed what we had seen. I know the exact time of when I got home, due to being a business owner, I have to keep track of all my travel information for income taxes. One other interesting thing about this, my mother, who lives about 6 acres away from us, called me the next morning and asked me had I heard the loud booming sound last night, which none of us heard anything. Not sure if that has anything at all to do with this, but it was around the same time. I do know that we 100% saw something, I am a skeptical person, and have never believed in Aliens or Unidentified Flying objects, but I know that we saw a round/oval object that flashed at least 6 different colors or variations of those colors and flew above my family for at least 3 to 5 minutes at speeds that I have never seen or heard of before. One other interesting thing, after reading several other reports from others, I developed an intense throbbing headache, which has not gone away since I witnessed the object, now it has been 4 days. I have taken Aleve, Advil, Tylenol pretty much anything that has ever worked before and it will not go away. All of the 5 of us, had a weird "taste/smell", like when you get an IV and you sense the salinity thru your nose or taste buds, its like a very faint miles away skunky smell that also had a metallic taste. Also, several family members have also had other symptoms that are unusual, my 21 year old son can't sleep at all, he is usually a heavy sleeper that could sleep anywhere really. My 14 year old has the funky smell/ taste thing like I do as well as the splitting headache. My husband who is usually quiet has become a very irritable person, who has a short temper and wants to argue with just about anyone or thing. So with all this, I'm still not sure what the hell we saw that night!
