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.

Saw a single object moving at what seemed normal high elevation plane speed, but it had no normal plane sound, contrail, and seemed lower than normal planes. After about a minute, another one appeared flying closer than I've ever seen a plane fly to another plane. It didn't come up to it, rather it just seemed to materialize right next to it. The new one matched speed exactly, both going Easterly direction. They appeared white and oval, but they were far off so cannot confirm their shape. They did match though. It was a bright sunny day.

The craft was very large, but I can not say how large as I do not know what its altitude was. It was above the clouds. There was no sound or lights. It was lit by the moon light. It moved across the sky at a steady speed. It was clearly visible except when it went above a cloud. I was sitting in a chair, and I watched it for about 30 seconds. It was long and cylindrical. The sky was clear except for a few clouds. It was traveling in a west to east direction. I lost sight of it after it passed over my house. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Should have watch longer but had to leave for work. Zoomed up as close as I could with my 2022 Samsung phone that morning. Object was very high in the sky.

Riding my bike to work around 4:35am for my 5am shift. A field to my right, tree line with houses ahead of me, I saw a shimmery bar of light. It started to move across the sky quickly and I pulled my phone off my bike to take a video. I accidently snapped a picture and then swapped it to video and took a video until it vanished. It appeared as if it was being lit by the sun over the horizon and not artificially lit up.

Playing catch with my daughter - saw a soundless white tic tac. My wife caught the last minute or so too. There other details I’d like to share via a conversation. I have videos and pictures.

Went outside to take my dog for a walk. It was a clear morning. I heard a very high-pitched whine (the sound you get when you have a bout of tinnitus). I looked up above me at the stars. Just as I did, one of the stars blinked out. Five seconds later it flashed back on momentarily and faded away again. It reminded me of how Cuttlefish use their Chromatophores to change their colors. The object started moving very slowly in a southerly direction. Every five seconds it would fluoresce, then fade away again. After a minute, it was out of sight..
