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.

8 spheres fixed in the sky and 2 off to the right as I was driving home on 161 around New Albany area. They did not move and i tried to watch them as long as i could but i was driving . I did see them behind me for a few seconds. Guessing they were few hundred feet up. Each was a glowing orb type thing. They did not look very big but I really can’t tell

My son was taking out the trash to the curb on Wednesday evening (March 25, 2020), at dusk, around 8:15pm. He was looking up at the sky checking out the stars and noticed a bright white object way off in the distance (orb shaped - like a star) just above the horizon where the sky separates between dark and orange - facing West towards Worthington, Ohio. The object was a bright orb shape and he noticed it was out of place considering other things in the sky (it wasn't moving). He took a picture of it with his iphone (will send image) but no video unfortunately. He looked at the object for about approximately 30 seconds and then the object took off at a 45 degree angle (heading South)toward space and was gone in a blink of an eye. He was visibly shaken when he came back into the house.
