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.

Raymond, ME
On the night of October/12/2014 at 8:45pm Eastern Standard Time in Raymond, Maine. I was walking outside to get my work cloth out of my car to was and I notice in clouds over a dozen faint oval lights moving very fast and then they would pause in the night skys clouds. I thought they might be spot lights and I decided to call the are local dispatch Cumberland County Sheriffs. They told me they didnt know what the lightswhere but there was nothing on the ground that they could find. I noticed there was nothing shining on the ground or a trail of light shining up from the ground. They would move in a pattern formation and a group of them would start to spin like a ferris wheel and then they would shoot from one side of the clouds to another. What kept getting me was they would stop. The police also told I was the fourth person to call at that point. I called at 9:00pm. The next morning I was running errands and I ran to a neighbor that asked if I had seen them! also. Several people witnessed the event. It lasted over an hour. I have called the local news media twice and I emailed them once. I tried contacting the Maine Air National Guard. I just want to find out whag I shaw in the sky. If you research this the police will confirm that others called dispatch and reported the lights. I just want answers. I tried to record them with my camera on my phone but I wasnt able to pick them up. My father and brother witness them also.
