The report, as filed
On 06/14/23 at about 10:20 pm I noticed a bright object in the sky toward the town of Rumey. At first I thought it was a helicopter because it stayed in the same place but it seemed close enough that I would hear it if it was a helicopter or any type of aircraft but it was silent. I used my bonoculars to see it and it appeared to be rectangular in shape and had what looked like arms or legs with lights from the bottom and a dome type of shape on the top. After looking at it for a few minutes all the lights shut of and I could no longer see it but after a few minutes the lights came back on and I observed it for about 10 minutes and went inside for the night, On todays date 06/16/2023 at about 10:00PM The object appeared again and I had my girlfriend look at it and she confirmed what I saw.

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.
