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.

I saw 4 to 5 large red lights in the formation of a Diamond or square outline. The lights slowing glided into a triangular alignment & seemed to slowly tilt before no longer being visible. There was a small aircraft that shortly came through the same route.

At around 9pm my dad has told me to go outside . We had seen one fairly large looking star turning red and white . We had thought it was a helicopter but it was moving up and down side and side very fast . We think looked around and seen there was 10-15 other moving like stars moving fast . Some pausing and some were moving up and down . The others were much farther away though then the one that was turning red.

Was walking my dog in alhambra on 3/29/20. looked up around where orions belt is located and to the left flying down towards the middle of the belt were a set of 3 lights flying close together accompanied by 2 sing lights almost flying in unison. either it was one really large craft or a group of 2 small ufos flying along with bigger ones. drifted off and disappeared as it went into orions belt. not sure what it was or if it was satelites but ive never seen what ive seen before. Im officially now looking up more for UFOS.

I was traveling Eastbound on I-10 in through the city of Alhambra, when by two friends and I saw an extremely bright flash. When we looked out and up, there was a bright streak traveling North to South and at a VERY high rate of speed. I’ve seen meteors and comets, this was neither one. I’ve never seen anything like this before, the streak it left behind was bright glowing white with some yellow that faded, the best way for me to suscribe it would be as if an electrical wire were to be over loaded and glowed. I was hoping my dash cam caught what we saw but when I tried to review the footage my dash cam froze about 1/4 mile from where we saw it.

On October 15, 2017, Sunday morning, between the hours of 1AM to 1:30AM, my wife's son (32 years of age), and I were outside the patio conversing about astronomy. I was showing him how to locate North star and the Big Dipper, with my green laser. It was getting cold that morning, he then went inside the house to put something warm. While he was inside the house, I panned to the Northeast sky and saw a bright orange flame-like ball from afar, about one mile away. As I was in awe, it approached towards my house, over the patio at zenith, I then grabbed my 9 x 63 binoculars, but could not focus on the object. The flame-like ball transformed into a boomerang shape, and it appeared to have a cloudy, blurry, fuzzy, hazy surrounding the fire-ball blades of the boomerang shape. It then came down to a lower altitude. I then shouted out to my wife's son to come outside and said, hurry-up!, that he needed to see this. I then passed him my 9 x 63 binoculars and told him to try and focus on it. He said he could not focus on it. As it was getting further away from my house, I decided to point my green laser at it, and it made contact to a solid green dot on the object. The object then disappeared about less than half mile out. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness, and highly reliable. PD

I was walking my dogs around 8:30pm, 7/18/17, when I noticed a reddish light move around. I kept my eye on it, and it seemed like it was hovering. It didn’t appear to be a helicopter or airplane. It disappeared, then came back, then was gone again.
