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.

This morning, I was walking my dog about 6 AM and as usual I watch the sky for what jets are crossing as it makes me think of traveling and going on more trips. I catch the blinking lights and then after they pass I hear the engine. There were two this morning in their usual places, but then something strange happened. As we neared the end of our walk I looked up to the NNW sky and noticed a "string" of five lighted objects somewhat higher than the usual jet path, they were about equally spaced and at that height I can't say how far apart but moving faster than the usual jets I track. They moved from NNW to NNE but that's not all! More and more kept coming out of the NNW, a string of 11 then a string of five again but widely separated and even more largely spaced apart and some in groups again! I lost count after about 25 all originating from the same place and heading to the same place! There were no blinking lights and no sound that I could hear. The night sky this morning was not exceptionally clear so thinking "satellites" didn't seem really likely and it sure wasn't a military formation of jets being transferred from someplace. It was strange but didn't seem threatening.

Black line starting from right side of moon with a tail hanging from the bottom. Line moved from right to left and tail faded away as line moved. Anybody see something similar? Witness provides no contact information. PD

The strangest thing that grabbed my attention, was that as it flew overhead, I could see up into it. Like it had a glass bottom and I
