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.

Lihue, HI

At 0430 hrs 08/19/20, while taking my dog outside to relieve herself, I looked up into the sky to see the stars. I did not have my prescription glasses on, but an odd “light” caught my eye, appeared to be circular and have a “corona-type” flare all around it, in the southeastern sky. I went back inside to grab my iPhone 7plus and my glasses. I proceeded to focus on the object with my phone camera and increased the magnification to 10X. I took 5 photos at 0432, 0433,, again at 0433, 0434 and 0435. At no time did this object move, it appeared to be just “suspended there. I will be uploading my photos in order of taking them. Afterward, I went inside the house, back to sleep. After I woke up, I re-magnified the clearest of the photos (photo #6). This took place at 0859 hrs. I posted my findings on Facebook. I then researched and found that both Jupiter and Saturn were visible in our Hawaiian Sky until 0313, and 0353, respectively, only until this morning -08/20/20. To verify that what I saw, was or was not a planet, I “checked” the sky at 2130, 2230, 2340, last night (0819/20) and again at 0230 this morning (0820/20). Whatever I had captured on my iPhone camera the night before, was no longer there. One of the things that puzzled me about this event, was that in the past I have attempted to photograph the full moon, with this same iPhone camera, and have been unable to even come close to the clarity I achieved while taking photos of this phenomenon.

Lihue, HI

I was sleeping and I heard this buzzing noise outside my window so I got up and checked it out. When I opened my front door, I saw this glowing light about 20 feet from me. It was super bright and almost blinded me. Then I passed out. I woke up in my bed and I never remembered getting up and walking to my bed that night. I got up and found bruises like after you get shots. It was the scariest moment of my life.
