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.

Greenwich, NY

3 lights observed in a triangular formation heading west to east. Altitude appeared to be very high as lights were not extremely bright. At first we thought it was stars but only then we observed they were moving slowly. Solid white no blinking. When they were about 30 degrees off the horizon, the leading light vanished went out then within 15-20 seconds, the left light went out and about 10 seconds late, the third light went out. Not a sound was heard the entire time. If it was just one light, one may think it was a satellite but to see the three in formation has us wondering. That's why I'm here. Someone had to have seen this as well???
