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.

Topsham, ME

We were standing outside, looking at the stars and discussing inter-dimensional beings. My boyfriend was saying how sometimes, when thinking about projecting energy into space, it increases the probability of a sighting. As I look up, I notice a light moving across the sky quickly, with no blinking lights. My boyfriend said the only thing that would move similarly would be a drone, but the object was too high up to be one. As we watched, the craft seemed to vibrate intensely for a moment before slightly changing direction and becoming further away and dimmer. We continued to look after it was out of our sight and then went inside.
