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.

As the orb approached near overhead my position it went from blurry to a clear dot and back to blurry. When blurry it was much larger than when clear, it looked almost as if the blurriness were a forcefield. It continued to go from blurry to clear twice more before it showered down a Smokey haze that looked similar to a sonic boom. It then went clear again and continued on towards the south-east horizon. I called a friend when I first noticed it, he observed the same phenomenon that I did from 3 miles north east of my position. It was moving very fast, maybe 4 minutes from horizon to horizon. There were other planes in the sky relatively close to the path it took but at higher altitude, none of the other planes or objects in the sky were blurry.

2 orb shaped objects just hovering and moving in all directions. Objects emitted rainbow like Colors even the dogs were reacting to this barking and looking up to the sky.

Near Midland Texas, looking north, there is a light in the sky that is in the atmosphere but is not moving and I have noticed it there for about 3 hours. The object is brighter than the clouds with no blinking lights and not round. After I was watching it for about 3 hours it started getting smaller and staying in the same place as if it was moving away and then finally it disappeared. Thats it.

I have been witnessing since 2014. Mostly orbs, "stars," sparklers Okay. I can't believe I'm going to do this. Here goes. I have been witnessing since 2014. Mostly orbs, "stars", sparklers, weird lights in general. Only once have I seen a solid craft. I felt compelled to report because I saw something almost exactly like the recent events at Bowling Green and Round Rock. I saw a line of what I might have dismissed as satellites, but they were in the wrong place. I stopped counting at some point. They all appeared out if thin air at a certain point Southwest of Venus. One after the other they followed the same trajectory and disappeared into nothing after maybe a length of 10-15 degrees(? I can't think of a more objective way to describe the distance). They weirdest part is that they all flashed at the midway point in their journey. It built up then diminished, not instant like a camera. All at the same spot, just after passing beneath Venus. Only one of the objects fucked up. And there was a brief pause at some point. I easily saw over 40 crafts in the span of ten minutes. I've seen a lot of wild stuff, but nothing like this before.

Hovering craft with with blue green lights. Disappeared when a plane drove under it then reappeared minutes after shining super bright to 4 humans. Another plane came from opposite direction a while later towards where it was stationed (possibly looking for it). The bright object got smaller and smaller then disappeared into the night sky.
