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.

While camping and settling under the open sky for bed. We were star-gazing at the sky. A super bright, circular light suddenly appears overhead and lit up the area. There were not any beams, the light just illuminated everywhere. We sat watching the light. It appeared to be stationary, hovering in place. We did not hear any sounds coming from it. It was well above the tree line. After a short time, it began to move very slowly south and then quickly turned off. We did not see it the rest of the night.

I was driving on and off ramp towards town coming from Holloman AFB and noticed 6 lights to the left of the ramp and started noticing they weren’t moving and they were just stationary. We have any jets and drones in the area but I am familiar with the structure and lights on them and these were not them. I pulled out my phone to try and take a picture but of course they disappeared by that time. They didn’t “fly off” or dissipate like a shooting star or meteor they simply disappeared and I was in immediate shock. I have no doubt in my mind they were unidentified flying objects. Weird things have been happening here so I wouldn’t be surprised. My 18 month old daughter was the only other person in the car with me at the time.

I was smoking this morning on my balcony and spotted a light moving pretty fast from SW to NE over Alamogordo. I wouldn't have thought much of it, other than it was weird that it was not blinking and seemed to be going faster than I would expect from an aircraft, but over the next approximately 15 minutes, I counted a total of 21 lights flying in the same path. They all flew the exact same speed and in roughly the same line. The reason I thought they were going fast was they were small points of light and not blinking, so it wasn't like seeing a regular aircraft.

I was driving near the hospital in Alamogordo New Mexico and noticed about 10 orange to red orb type ufo's. All 6 people in the car saw them as well. The minute I stopped and started trying to record them with my phone they started to disappear and were all gone from site within a minute of recording.

15 min later, I saw one long light like a lazer light in the same direction.
