Have you seen something in the sky you can’t explain? Felt a moment of awe, confusion, or even fear, only to fall silent, not because you wanted to, but because you were afraid of being laughed at, dismissed, or told it was nothing?
If so, you’re not alone.
Why Your Voice Matters
Too often, those who witness something extraordinary, whether a strange aerial object, an unexplained light, or a sudden phenomenon, find themselves silenced. Maybe it’s friends who joke, officials who brush it off, or that gnawing feeling you’ll be seen as “crazy.” This kind of dismissal isn’t just unfair. It’s a huge loss, to science, to community, and most of all, to you.
AERA was built for people like you. Our mission is to turn stargazers into investigators, and that starts by giving everyone a voice. We listen with respect, document with care, and believe every experience, no matter how small, can help us understand our skies and ourselves.
What Happens When You Share
Your story will be heard, never ridiculed.
You can remain anonymous if you wish.
Your account may help others who are afraid to speak out and may even contribute to ongoing investigations and research.
Sharing brings connection. Across the world, others are waiting for someone else to go first.
Break the Silence, You’re Invited
Your voice is powerful. Your sighting, your story, and your perspective matter more than you know. When you reach out, you join a movement that values honesty, open inquiry, and the courage to question.
