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.

My freind and I were heading to Vegas late night. We first spotted a light sitting still in the sky. Then a second light joined and it stood still. Then the second light went left ( we were driven towards Vegas) and it zig zagged in w formation. The unit that was standing still just disappeared. It was so bizarre. The one that was moving kept going left and it eventually vanished. By the time we got off the freeway it was to late. We were perplexed.

Barstow, CA

On the morning at 04:15 of 25 May, 2016, my son and I were star gazing in our front yard. To the East of our house there was a fast moving flash of light. We both thought that it was a satellite and watched it move. We both were surprised on the brightness and the flashing frequency it had. As it was moving in a North North West direction, we noticed the movement was in an arcing path, not a straight path. Also, the flashing was moving in a zigzag pattern from left to right. A flash on the left then a flash in a diagonal direction to the right. No sound was associated with the flashing light. Unfortunately, I have no visual evidence for this event. I work with and on military aircraft for a living and have never seen anything with the light pattern or movement such as my son and I witnessed. I live South of China Lake Naval Air Station and the flight path of the flashing light is not in the air corridor for China Lake NAS or the Edwards AFB fast mover corridor which is North or China Lake NAS.

It appeared to have a kind of flame coming from it at first, but then the flame disappeared and it looked like the object hovered for a time, looking octagonal in shape. I went inside to get some binoculars but by the time I returned, it had flown completely out of sight.

It was as high as the clouds, cigar shaped, white, made no noise, had no chemtrail, was faster that any jetliner at the hight it was going, must of been huge, or atleast large. I grabbed my binoculars to try to see it, but I couldnt get a good view, but as i was trying to look, it disappeared without a trace, it could have gone behind a cloud, and that could mean it was a plane, but there was no trail at all. Im sorry if it could be a false alarm.
