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.

Outside on the patio tonight and noticed in the sky numerous white star looking objects coming up from the west to the north single file in a straight line and then hitting a certain spot in the sky and disappeared. At the end of the straight line two more came side by side and then disappeared at the same spot as the others. Another came from what appears to be from the east going very very quickly to the west, and then disappeared. When we noticed the first lights going single file they were moving very quickly. Towards the end, they seemed to slow down. Definitely not a plane as ironically a plane did go by and one of the lights appeared to cross right where the plane was in the sky. We live about 4 miles from the Helena Airport. However the lights began their single file from the west no where near the airport. Any suggestions on what this would be? There were more than 2o of then I counted.

At 3:48am saw an orange, pie shaped object that was stationary. It slowly shrank in size. As it got smaller it turned red and the object looked like a firefly. It continued to get smaller until just a small circle and then gone. It never moved, just became smaller. The position would have been over the Fort Harrison area.
