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.

Oceanside, NY

I was sitting outside in my backyard, when I saw 2 bright orange lights flying in an arc, a set distance from one another. They were travelling fairly slow, almost as if they were observing. As they got closer to the horizon, they disappeared. I was screaming for someone to come outside. My father came outside in time to see the third (supposed, my father said) craft. He believes it is an airplane, but I spend enough time outside to know that aircrafts have blinking lights. I've seen strange things before, but this made me truly question my sanity. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
