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 I was driving on the highway, a bright green light in the sky catches my eye. It was fluorescent green in the way that a green light at a green “go” light is. The green light then symmetrically splits into (I would guesstimate) 8 different lights and then disappears. This all happened within a matter of seconds. The sky was completely clear of anything accept for this.

Moving tiny objects across sky (looked like a 100 stars), all moving same direction for more than 3hrs!

I was driving southbound on I-5 a few miles south of SeaTac airport on Thursday night (Friday morning), around 12:45AM. I travel this way several nights a week and always watch the air traffic around SeaTac and McChord Field. Tonight, I saw an aircraft I first thought was an airliner on the SeaTac glideslope, but it was kind of odd. It had one bright white light that strobed (like two blinks, pause, two blinks), a solid white light, and a fainter solid red light. They didn't look particularly unusual for aircraft lights, just in a configuration I've never noticed before. I can't even say that description of the lights is completely accurate - I was driving, and assuming it was just an airplane, not paying that close attention - but something along those lines. After a few minutes, I realized it wasn't an airliner, it was hovering at a few hundred feet just west of the highway. I assumed it was a helicopter. I glanced up at it as I passed, and nope, it was a perfect dark grey or black triangle, with the lights at the tips. I'd say it was hovering at maybe 200-300ft and maybe about 40ft on a side, and I didn't notice any noise. I wasn't able to stop or go back, but I watched it in my rear-view mirror and it didn't seem to move much, if at all. I drove around a bend out of sight after maybe half a minute. Even at 00:45, I-5 close to SeaTac is a fairly busy highway. There should be plenty of other witnesses, if anyone bothered to look up.

We were sitting in the backyard around dusk when my husband looked up and noticed the objects flying in the sky. My son also came out and we all watched as they seemed to form a triangle with one in the center. They traveled out of view after about 5 minutes.
