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.

While laying in bed I observed a light in the night sky seen through my bedroom window blinds. When this light remained stationary and there weren’t any blinking navigation lights, it was then I realized this was something different. I heard no sound although it was estimated to be mile or more in distance at less than 5,000 feet altitude. When I leaned toward the window to pull the blinds back, the light on it went totally dark and I never saw it again.

Ufo Texas, may 8, 2021 On May 8, 2021 at 3:27pm central time, I was a passenger in the back, passenger seat of a 4 door mini suv type vehicle with 2 other adult passengers (1 being the driver) and 1 child under 12. We were driving from Clear Lake Texas to the airport (I believe the Dallas Airport and can verify with adult passengers if needed). Admiring the vast blueTexas sky scattered with large fluffy, bright white clouds, looking out the passenger side window, I noticed a very small, singular, pitch black object, high in the sky. I watched for several seconds struggling to see what looked like an object flying/floating at a steady pace and altitude before remembering the capabilities of my Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone camera. I pulled it out and turned it on immediately, after quietly and hesitantly asked aloud, "is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing or am I trippin?" I felt a little embarrassed to ask, thinking that maybe I was being foolish and just not calling to mind some very mundane thing I should have been able to readily identify. Because I was a passenger in a moving vehicle, unable to keep an eye on both the object and anything that would potentially block shots of the object in my video, AND the fact I had to zoom in at maximum capability, there are portions of the video where bridges and/or signs obstruct the view of the object. When zoomed out fully one can see how truly high in the sky the object was. On shots that are fully zoomed in the object can clearly be seen changing shape. At one point it even takes on a shape closely resebling the Eye of Horus, at another, a flying man. It almost looks like an incredibly large rope, of some sort, that keeps looping and twisting to take on some other form, but it feels like that would have to be an unbelievably thick rope to be witnessed from such distance, and it is unbelievable that any such thing could be light enough, in weight,, to be so high in the sky, let alone, to be keeping steady pace and altitude. I cannot "drag" the video to the upload box on this page as I am on my smartphone and have no computer. I will include a link to the YouTube posting of this event but can provide the actual media file in another way if necessary. https://youtu.be/t-oqKQrAkN4

I submitted my original report on MUFON's website 11/14/2015. Case ID 7DH8IQ56. I tried to submit an update on the MUFON website yesterday and later found that the content of my update had been deleted and my original report had been altered. Since MUFON deleted my update, I will post it to NUFORC's website instead. I don't recall sending my initial report to NUFORC in 2015. But oddly, I found that someone had copied it to NUFORC's website. You may find it here: https://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/124/S124047.html When I first reported the event on the MUFON website on 11/14/2015, I did so anonymously at the public library, as I didn't want my location to be traceable to my home. Not long afterward, I made the mistake of signing into my account from my home to check for discussions about my report. I wanted to see if anyone had reported something similar around the same date and location. When I signed into my account from my home, my location was instantly traceable. I live out in the country on ~50 acres. It wasn't until after I signed into my MUFON account from home that, on several occasions, helicopters deliberately flew very low over my house and circled around my property. Shortly thereafter, I awoke one morning with an incredibly painful sore throat and a deep, inch long fissure in the left side of my soft palate. The fissure healed quickly. It was almost exactly one year later that I awoke again one morning with a very painful sore throat and another deep, inch long fissure in the left side of my soft palate. From the time I saw the anomaly until early last year there were very brief moments when a thought about these events would surface, but then quickly fade out. I couldn't hold the thought for more than a few seconds. It was as though a mental barrier prevented me from accessing my own thoughts. I would dissociate and would be stuck like that until some distraction snapped me out of it. This happened many times after I submitted the report. It was not until early last year that I began to feel the mental barrier begin to weaken. Finally I can speak about it. I have no doubt that if I had never signed into my MUFON account from home, the things that happened afterward would never have occurred. Human beings are responsible for what happened on my property and to me. I have no idea what they did to me. The reason I'm writing this update is as a warning. Never submit a sighting report to MUFON from your own computer. Never sign into your MUFON account from your home. Don't submit a report from a computer belonging anyone you know. Always submit a report using a brand new email address you created on a public computer using false demographics. Never use your real name or home address. Please be careful, because there is no way of knowing what kind of agencies are really monitoring MUFON reports. They already know who and where I am, so it is too late for me. If you value your safety and your privacy, please be careful, or just don't report sightings to MUFON at all.
