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.

Was sitting next to a little bawnfire talking and listening to music when I took a drink and looked up to see 5 small crafts flying in a V patten the same way geese fly & told my other 2 friends to look. They seen it too. It made no noise, was flying low, small crafts like maybe 2 humans could fit in 1, and then gone as quickly as it came.

When my fiance, my best friend, and I were sitting by the fire pit in the backyard. My friend said "what in the hell is that?" I looked up and caught the tail end of what he was seeing before it disappeared before our eyes. To me it looked like a triangle shaped craft that had lights on it that were not flashing and all. They were not even that bright. They were just, lights. I couldn't make out how many lights. I think I might of seen 3, I'm not too sure though. It only was in my sight for a few seconds, but that was long enough to see the craft. It disappeared in almost what looked like clouds but it was a clear night.

Thursday, February 4, 2021 Approximately 8 pm Sweetwater, TX While driving north, just leaving the city limits on fm419, one other person and I witnessed an unusual point of light in the sky. It was of a steady and unwavering hue, abnormally brilliant. I was instantly drawn to it because it was apparently moving toward the south and descending in altitude at an incredible speed. I say this because we both observed an increase in apparent diameter and brightness that went from negligible to alarming in a matter of a couple seconds. Then it stopped. It remained stationary for several seconds. Still no flashing or shimmering. The hue was red, somewhat neon. Definitely exceptional in it's radiance. Both of us were awestruck. Then it took off away from us, receding from us, it seemed, and within a further two seconds had completely gone out of sight. The whole thing lasted maybe ten seconds. To us both, it was a decidedly remarkable experience and uniquely strange.

I took my dog out , and saw a bright light closer than all the other stars in the sky. Something appeared above it. Something red it appeared. To close to be a star. It is a clear night. I waited and watched. The object never moved it appeared, until I took pictures and videos . Only in the video can you see movement. When I look it is fixated and does not Move. The video and pictures show a circular bright shape that has something in the center. Hard to describe without just sharing what I took with my iPhone. In the picture only and video it appears to go side side as there is a light also around it like a fog and it moves. It is still there and it is 2:49 am. I am going back in. So I cannot say length of time whatever it is will be in the sky. I have seen planes, and all kinds of things in the Texas sky. I have never not been able To tell what something was. It is to Close for a Star. If you would Like my pictures video. Please contact me.
