A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

While camping for the first time with my friend and 2 children, 19 and 12 years old. I heard a sound of something hovering or making a low vibratory sound moving through the campsite. At first I thought it was a drone but it would have had to been a pretty large drone to make that sound and furthermore the lights that were beaming through our tent were almost blinding. I tapped my friend to alert him to what I was hearing and seeing but he only caught the tail end of the sound and the lights diminished as the object moved further into the Forest. We both agreed that it was quite bazaar and we asked questions the next day to see if anyone else had any information we could make since of. One person thought it could have been the security boats passing through but wouldn’t explain the movement through the camp site. That night we went to sleep around 11pm and I woke to dogs barking pretty aggressively in the distance. The owners were able to calm them down so I again fell fast asleep and was awakened by the same sound as lights but this time I saw who I thought was my 19 year old son sitting quietly in a meditative pose for close to 10-15 min. It was strange to see him sitting in the dark that way but I decided not to disturb him just in case he was praying or meditating and I drifted back off to sleep. That morning during breakfast I asked him was he ok and why he was wearing a black hoodie in the tent being that it was so hot. He looked at me weird and said that he didn’t bring a hoodie. I then asked him if he was meditating. He said he fell to sleep shortly after we the rest of us fell asleep because he was kind of creeped out by some moving shadows around him at the campfire. I asked over and over if he was sure that he didn’t wake up and sit straight up for at least 10 min. He insisted that he never got up once and that he was dead sleep until this morning. So, who was the hooded person dressed in black in my tent? And how did they get in without us hearing the zipper being unzipped? I have so many questions!!! I’m not sure if we will go camping again.

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.
