The report, as filed
At 11:45 pm a flashing object was noticed north from Saluda, NC. The object was flashing green, blue, red, orange and white in a seemingly random pattern. The object would erratically move from East to West, performing sudden sweeping and circular movements. The object continued to perform these types of maneuvers for roughly two hours, moving north toward the Pisgah Forest. Upon the time of sighting,no known satellites were visible nor was the ISS.

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.
