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.

Went out to take pics of the blue moon and saw it hovering over I75. Switched to video mode. It appeared circular. I don't know how long it was there before I went outside. Within 30 seconds it slowly lowered down a short distance, then appeared to break into 2 and it disappeared. Not like flew away. Just disappeared. This is not the first time I've seen UFO's in the area. More like the 10th time in 6 years. But only the 2nd time I've seen a single craft. Usually 3 or more. Usually orb like in triangle formation.

Then I kept looking in the sky as it was odd. A few minutes later I noticed a white circular object floating through the sky at a low altitude with no lights. It was definelty weird. No sound and it was moving pretty fast. Again, could have mistaken drones for UFOs, but never seen drones like this experience. Couldn't have been the only person in the area to have seen the orange orbs in the sky. Thanks. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I saw one ball of red light flying low and coming in my direction. It then shifted toward the heavens and disappeared into the clouds. I then looked South and saw two more of the same object flying the same trajectory. We wonder whether the correct time may have been 0030 hrs., i.e. thirty minutes past midnight. PD

We saw a circular orange glowing object first going fast across the sky then it went at a slower pace.
