The report, as filed

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.

Burlington, KY
Driving down 18 with my best friend. I was on the phone with a guy friend at the time. When we first saw the craft it was staying parallel to us on a very curvy road at a very high speed. It would dart up in front of us and then get behind us. I took a video on my phone to document what we were seeing. It was flying the level of the tree line and lower the entire time never gaining altitude but darting all over the place. It had a white flashing light and a red one. Was the shape of a triangle. Turned around on 18 headed back the other direction after getting freaked out and sure enough it was back parallel with us on the road headed the opposite direction.
