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.

4:10 PM exited north (rear/staff) exit of 21 Enterprise drive and proceed to parking lot via path on east side of building. Upon coming into parking lot looked up and saw pictured object in western sky. Object had contrail but did not appear to be moving. Discerned that object was either very flat and I had a side view of it or object was dark/needle shaped and was almost imperceptible from contrail. The object did not emit any sound that I could detect. Object did not have any lights that I could detect. Observed it for aprox 5 minutes. Object did not appear to me to be moving. Took several photos from parking lot looking west (attached to report). Time stamp of photos is 4:19-4:21 PM. Had heavy bags to went to place them in my vehicle. Co-workers large SUV was parked directly next to mine obscuring view for 2-3 minutes while I unloaded my belonging into the back seat and started the engine. Stepped back out and object was no longer visible anywhere in the sky. No clouds, so I assumed there was no way for it to be obscured in sky. Waited for a few minutes to see if it would return or if there was any observable clues that maybe object was closer than I assumed and was behind tree-line. Did not reappear. Told my mother and showed her photos upon arriving home at aprox 5:00PM on 11/10/2021. Showed my sister photos during conversation on Thanksgiving on 11/25/2021. My sister sent me screenshot from social media on morning on 12/6/2021 of individual who witnessed same object and had a photo. I have attached that screenshot.

Went outside to watch the space station go overhead saw a dot in the south southeast sky from Waterville Maine. Looked at it through the binoculars could not see a craft just saw lights. Multi-colored flashing. Red, green, yellow, blue and red maybe if you other colors mixed in. It was hard to see with the 10x42 binoculars but it stayed in one spot for over a half an hour and did not move horizontally or vertically.

5 orange lights following in formation but in a methodical way. All disappeared into a "black" part of space. Almost looked like a shooting star until 4 others followed the same direct path into "darkness" surrounded by stars... looked to be coming from orion's belt. .happened around 11 pm on 4/13.

This is not actually a space craft but rather a stone that has been carved in the shape of a head. I have moved this item to a safe place but would be willing to have it examined at a convenient time and place for me ** This is not an attempt to get money or notoriety but rather a sincere act to notify the public and or government if they are interested. ** While working in my yard I found a strange looking stone and upon closer examination, it turns out this is some type of carving, with facial features including some type of crystal where the mouth is, this is about the size of a large kitchen toaster, I have not had any test done yet, I am real busy. I am wondering if there are any experts in the field of geology, metallurgy, geo-physics or other specialized area that might be able to help identify it's origin. By the way, I do have a Master's in Psychology and am working on my second Master's in clinical Mental Health, so I am busy and would appreciate only serious inquiries, I did attempt to take pictures but because of the lighting that was available they did not come out but will take more if it is a requisite for verification of a possible encounter or landing.

Last night as my boyfriend and I was walking home from kmart we looked up in the sky and saw a HUGE bright white light. It was way too big to be a star. The weird thing about it was the part of the sky it was in was clear and to the west the sky was black and red....I'm aware that it could of just been the sun setting and the biggest star I've ever seen in my life but this was seriously creepy!

I'm actually not sure of the actually date but I do know this particular event happen in August. My boyfriend and I go out looking as often as possible for UFO's and do see all kinds of activity in the sky. This night though was strange. We had been sitting outside for awhile waiting to see something, my boyfriend kind of yelled out, "Come on let's see something!", then mins later we stated seeing what looked like little stars flying very high in the sky over our house 1st south to north then eventually north to south, we saw over 10 of these "flying stars". During all of this we all of a sudden saw a much lower triangle shaped craft that was all lite up at 1st and then as it flew right above my house it turned all its lights off and then turned on 1 bright white light right down on my boyfriend and I and stayed there for what seemed 5 mins but it was prob more like less then a min! I was kind of scared so I backed up and then it disappea! red and my boyfriend and I saw a blue streak go across the sky, higher then where we 1st saw this craft. I don't believe we was abducted or anything but I do believe we saw an alien craft. Oh yeah there was no sound.
