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.

I was picking up my son and when I got out of car saw something in sky looked like stars. I continued to look and started recording because they were moving. About 8 of them drifted into the clouds in the same spot and then more appeared. Not a sound ! Another cluster of about 4. They did some kind of scifi twisting and turning at extreme speeds not human in nature or that of an aircraft can perform. It was "crazy" looking then they stopped and all started moving again but not moving in unison just the twists were in unison. What was strange also is that when I pause the video when watching it over and over again I can see that the ones that have drifted almost unseen are also twisting and scifi like spinning at the same exact movements as the new ones that are beginning to drift up in the air. Then another 2 or 3 cluster appeared and then another 2 cluster appeared. When the shape of the objects which were all the same when they were not doing the! "scifi dance" I have been calling it they all had the same appearance. A glob of light and it looks like attached to the one glob 2 more smaller tiny globs attached to the larger one but NOT CONNECTED. Almost like 3 triangular like globs in one cluster which would equal 1 UFO. 20 UFOs in total. ALl difted up in the same exact direction into the sky but at different paces. ANother strange phenomenon from this same event is that it appeared at the end of the video that one straggler UFO was trying to catch up to the other UFOs it looked like a cute "baby" UFO like a child running after its mother and then when it caught up started floating with the others. ALmsot like some one or some thing inside these UFOs have "understanding" That is how I felt when watching the video in person and then over and again on my computer. Definitely NOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE. My ex husband was also looking at the sky when this was happening and making jokes ! but I am using myself as the only witness to this event becaus! e I have the video. My son is in front of the fence. DOgs were barking late at the night as if the dogs knew. Howling dogs from neighbors yard also in video.

Hello Mr Davenport, I had the pleasure of listening to you on the Ground Zero podcast from last week. Your interview persuaded me to look up your website and report something seen several days ago (prior to my hearing the broadcast). I am reporting on behalf of my son. I was with him at the time but he was the only person who saw the actual occurrence. He is an adult and responsible. We were looking out of our home our windows to view the blood moon. My son looked out towards the south west and he saw a green light moving very quickly. the path direction was either moving away from us, further to the SW, or from high in sky, diagonally from upper left to lower right, down towards Horizon. He claimed it was faster than meteors we have seen in the past. There was no tail, no flare, nor change in the brightness of the light. It was lime green and somewhat blurry. We believe it was a far distance away based on my conversation with him. He also denies that it was a drone. Perhaps it was a meteor but it didn’t have those usual features and he seemed shocked to have seen it .
