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.

10/31/20 @ approximately 14:30 hrs granddaughter asked about a star in the sky above our farm. Upon looking at the object with binoculars I could see what appeared to be craft emitting a white/silver light with two thick black downward protruding pole and with a third pole that crossed at the bottom of the two downward poles but was extended further out to the port side. The body of the craft slowly and repeatedly cycled between the shape of a diamond and a circle during the entire time of the event. The body had well defined edges and I never had any visual obstruction or blurring caused by the light during it's shifting. It appeared to be at an extremely high altitude with a moderate velocity. Two other aircraft (airliners) were in the vicinity at the time but were well below it's altitude and they both had different headings. I immediately check online at website FlightAware.com which showed only the two scheduled airline flight already mentioned. This we! bsite doesn't show military flights. The objects approximate location was 39°13'58.22"N 83°10'28.67"W with a heading of approximately 100 degrees. Altitude appeared to be in excess of 50k. My point of observations would of been about 10-12 miles west of these coordinates. The sky was clear and sunny, temperature was in the low 50's and the sun would of been to my back during the siting.

My wife and I were camping at Paint Creek State Park, Ohio and shortly after dark on Sept 18 (appx 9:30 pm) I noticed lights descending in the distance (toward Hillsboro, Oh). There was one lighted object and then immediately below another exactly the same light and then that was followed by three more immediately below the first two. After that we observed flashing white lights above those and then saw the flashing lights in various areas of the night sky to the north and south of the first sightings and then the flashing lights were in the sky to the north, south and then to the east and then to the west moving at incredible speeds (I would estimate at least mach 3 to mach 4). I have never seen anything like this before. I have worked in the aerospace industry for more than 25 years and have never encountered anything even close to this.
