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.

Came from the north 150 of them. Went the speed of a satellite but they were all blinking and all the same. They were all in a line and then looked like the first ones began to slow down and wait for the stragglers to catch up. Went across the whole Eastern sky going south. Neighbors saw and people we called 25 miles away.

Low in the Eastern sky near Orem Utah on July 14, 2020 at 11:08-11:11. Large white light seen for about a minute. Smaller white light flew into larger light, smaller separated from large white light then turned red. Both then vanished. I was driving.

My family and I were having a bonfire on a Saturday night. Around 11:00 pm one of my kids (11) noticed something in the sky. He first thought it was a bird. My two other kids (15, and 17) and myself also saw it just then. It was moving quickly in the sky at a constant rate of speed. There were no lights visible, no sound was heard before or after the sighting that would sound at all like an aircraft. It was difficult to see due to the dark night sky as the backdrop. It appeared to be shaped like a wing, no fuselage was visible. It appeared to large to be a drone, and it covered a distance of ~4-5 miles in about 7-8 seconds. My wife didn't see the craft, however, immediately after the craft left our view she told the kids to get inside and go to bed.

Driving into Timpanogas Trailer Park, and all of the sudden I saw 4 main white focal points creating a Rectangle pirimeter around dark space. Then all the sudden I saw a doorish shape "materialize" out of redish Amber little dots in the middle of the dark space. Then it went out of view.

Observed about 20-25 objects that were appearing from the West and heading East and then disappearing into the night sky. They were in a straight line and evenly spaced apart from one another. There were no sounds from the objects.

My mother (who is a skeptic and doesn’t necessarily believe in UFO’s) called to inform me about a very bright white light she noticed while driving home, as I went outside, sure enough a large single bright white light was shining strongly through Utah’s thick smoggy air, no other stars or planets were visible in that portion of the western Utah sky due to the smog. It seemed to be sitting stagnate, no changes, no movement, no pulsation, almost as if it was pretending to be a star but was noticeably too bright to be one... using a star chart I could not identify any star or planet in its location. I looked down at my phone and when I looked up it was gone, only darkness remained with no sight of this mysterious light. Vanished in a blink of an eye.
