The report, as filed
Driving south on hwy 52 in Granite Quarry NC. 11:00am looked to the left and noticed a round shiney object 2 miles away and a few miles up.very shiney! About that time I saw this a black fuzzy BLK round object came out of it from the center top. About the time I could focus in on it. It all of a sudden it went straight up and out of sight in a second. then the silver object. Which was actually moving horizontal, did the same but not quite straight up. They went so fast they were up and through the atmosphere in a second. Intriguing, weird, and scary all at the same time. Definitely saw this clear enough to say it wasn't from here. It left me feeling almost vulnerable because of what I just saw.

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.
