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.

Benton, AR

It flew northbound and when it was directly above me, I knew it wasn't a kite, drone, or bird. There were no lights on the object and no sound. It disappeared shortly after into the clouds (partly cloudy that night) and I heard the birds in that direction start to chirp wildly. My camera was mid exposure on a 30 second shot and the object flew just outside the left side of the frame. Unfortunately, even with an ultra wide 14mm lens on at the time, I was unable to capture anything. The whole event lasted no longer than 10 seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
