The report, as filed
My Wife was let the dog out and seen a bright object in the sky then it got real dim. She called me to come look at it and said our friends was back because we have seen this 4 aor 5 times in the past 17 years. So I went out to look at it and sure enough it was bright then it would get dim it would move then stop. I watched it for abut 15 min. and it just disappeared.

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.
