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 sitting in my backyard I observed these reflective objects flickering in the sky. Checked for drones and there were none. My partner saw what I did and witnessed it all.

Took several photos from the street to capture moon as it started to re-emerge from lunar eclipse. As I looked through pics, I saw these two green glowing objects with curved tails and small body with two glowing lights that I hadn’t noticed when I was rapidly taking photos. Thought it might be some sort of weird flare or flash. On closer inspection, the objects were not identical. One is slightly smaller, higher and more blurred. The flash was off because the glare was too strong from the light in the building

huge white football field size in length and width diamond prism / box with a huge kite like few thousand yard long white string like that was a few hundred feet in width. Object was at 20-35,000 feet for about half an hour before going to about 80,000 feet-100,000 feet and turning into a white little orb / dot that stay around for an extra half hour at that height. my iphone x camera / screen was cracked and so sad couldn't capture for the rest of the world to see. My Roomate however captured a video on his iphone 5 which one could imagine the quality. It just appears as a white dot per say. will try and keep an eye out and get better footage next time. Was silent and moved gracefully north upwards and sideways. My roomie and I were in GOD honest SHOCK into what we we were both witnessing in the Sky. Planes looked like ants flying by

While snapping photos of the clouds while hiking Wilacre Park, I observed a round, blue object in my picture. I snapped three photos in succession. The object was not in the first photo, but was in the 2nd and 3rd. When the picture is blown up, it appears there are lights emitting from he object.

On September 16, 2019, I was hiking in Fryman Canyon at Wilacre Park in the Santa Monica Mountains in Studio City, California. It was late afternoon and the day was overcast. There were some beautiful clouds. I decided to take pictures of the clouds from the top of the mountain. I did not see anything with my naked eye. However, I snapped three photographs in succession. The first photograph did not display any abnormalities. The second and third photographs showed a blue dot. When the blue dot is enlarged, a clearly visible round object is seen. It appears there are several light sources or reflections coming off of the blueish object.

My wife and I were having breakfast at a bagel shop at 12914 Ventura Blvd this morning. We were seated outside, and near the end of our meal, I glanced around the sky. It was such a beautiful and clear Southern California day, especially after the recent storms in the area. While looking around, I noticed a twinkling white light to the north, about the same height in the sky as the top of a street light pole on Ventura Blvd from where we were seated. I first thought that it was a very bright and early star, but the twinkling was too bright to the naked eye, and I immediately observed very slow movement. My next thought was a potential satellite sighting, but no straight flight path existed — movement was somewhat erratic, though slow at times. This was easily confirmed due to the light’s position just to the right of the street light pole, which allowed me a point of reference in the sky. The light was far too high, to my observation, to be commercial aircraft (best guess was 150,000ft or more) — it was too erratic and slow for a satellite path, and it also didn’t appear to be any type of rocket (to my knowledge) due to it’s start-stop movement. The emitting of light (or glinting of sunlight off of the object, which was another thought) also had no pattern and seemed to be random, almost as if the object was spinning about — at times it became so dim to the point that I’d thought it disappeared, then it would randomly shine bright seconds later, as bright as a star in the early evening or early morning sky. The level of brightness was observed changing drastically without obstruction as the light slowly pinged about the clear blue sky. A second white light holding the same characteristics was also observed momentarily, further up in the sky and to the left of the first light I fixated upon. To confirm, my wife and I both observed these objects and all of the mentioned movements/lights. The only further detail I observed on the main light was the emission of tiny, nearly invisible, red lights — these seemed to be ejected from the object and quickly disappeared into the blue of the sky. This detail was very hard for me to see, but I know that I did observe this. I captured iPhone video of this sighting, and upon review later in the day, both white lights (along with their visual characteristics and movements) can be clearly seen in the footage. This entire event lasted over 3 minutes. I captured over 2 1/2 minutes of footage, but I did have to stop recording because we had to get going about our business.
