The report, as filed
I was watering in the garden when I noticed a pulsating light. Observed it for a few minutes and it disappeared and reappeared in the same location. Used phone to zoom in and captured the video that I have uploaded to my YouTube channel. Sky was clear. Stars could be see,planes passed over. File is too big to all me to attach. Please contact for video or look at my YouTube https://youtu.be/Nx9wBKSUY34

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.

At a distance, I believes the craft to be a helicopter. I thought it was shining a spotlight on us. As we got closer, I realized te shape was not that of a helicopter. Also, I realized it wasn't making any noise. As we got even closer, I realized it was a triangle. It looked to be about the size of a car. It made no noise. It flew just above the tree line. I knew it couldn't be an airplane because it was flying no more than five miles per hour. As we got closer, it flew across the road and flew back in the direction it came from. It just circled around us. I was frightened, but my comrade stopped to observe. It was triangular, about 30 feet across, and flew no more than 70 feet above our car. It flew about 5 miles per hour and had white and red lights on the bottom. I thought it was a helicopter, but I could hear no propellor.
