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.

Rockwall, TX

This picture was taken on Saturday, August 17, at 7:35 pm in Rockwall, TX, 75087. It was taken while facing north, so it was definitely not the sun or the moon. We saw a strange disk shaped object in the sky that was only visible in the photos we took; we did not see it when taking the photos. It was a shiny white object that was seen in multiple photos that we took.
