The report, as filed

I was letting my dogs outside and glanced up, when I caught sight of a lightning bug flashing past. I live in the middle of town and was facing West, when I noticed a red-orange crescent shape just in line with some trees. At first I thought it was the moon, because tonight there is a waxing crescent, so I wasn't paying too much attention to it at first. I looked away and back a few times, noting what I thought was a dark, rounded glove or sphere shape with the light curved along one edge, which is why initially thought it was the moon. I glanced away to call my dogs back in, and when I looked back up, the crescent shaped light began to fade. After about 15 more seconds the light faded out completely.

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.

New Bloomfield, MO

We saw irregular flashing lights that occurred in a circular pattern. At first it seemed like it could be a sort of plane but the lights didn't move as a jet would. They moved slightly up then slightly down, hovered for a few minutes, dropped lower in the sky and proceeded very slowly to the right. The lights seemed to come from a fairly large craft but it was hard to tell due to distance. The lights disappeared for a while, but then reappeared a few minutes later in another spot. We did not know if this was the same craft that somehow got to an entirely different place in the sky without us seeing or another craft entirely. This one was closer and the lights were brighter. It followed the same hover pattern for a few minutes and this too drifted out of our line of sight. As we stood there this same thing happened two more times--flashing lights in different parts of the sky (I would describe them as having a strobe like effect). The craft would hover and go slightly up, down and sideways for a few minutes before drifting off. There was no noise and the only color we saw was whitish yellow light. It wasn't shining a light as a helicopter might do if it was performing a search but more or less just twinkeled. I do not know how it was able to appear in different parts of the sky without us seeing it get there. All of the sightings ended when the lights drifted behind a structure or the trees.
