We had been looking for meteors and satellites. were very successful in finding meteors and satellites. Just before bedtime we looked up into the sky at 10:30 in the evening and discovered a flashing object very high up in a very clear night Sky. The direction from us was the North West. Prior to the discovery we had been following satellites jet airliners and meteors. I saw an airliner going by and the object appeared to be much higher then the airliner, And lower than satellites. The object flashed 1,2,3 stop 1,2,3 stop continuously I watched it from 1030 to 12 midnight I went to bed woke up at 2 am and it was still up there Flashing, and not moving,It never moveed from its spot. I watched it for another 10 or 15 minutes and went to bed. We both were watching with a pair of binoculars. Without the binoculars the object was very! faint.

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.
