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.

At approx 2am my wife let dogs out and saw a bright white light suddenly appear in the woods where there was absolutely no light source or possibly or any reflection nor was there any light to reflect. As soon as the light faded she witnessed two glowing red lights moving as if they were eyes looking around, one of them appeared to blink for time to time. It continued to move/ walk along and behind the fence line down a cut/ ravine where a dry creek bed runs. My wife woke me up to see it because she was scared when I got out back the red eyes/ glowing red had stopped and we waited for about 10 minutes to see where they went. We went back inside and looked out kitchen window then saw the bright white light flash again and didn't see anything else after. We are both veterans of 101st and are familiar with being in woods at night, there was absolutely no light source, no chance of reflection nor was there anyone back there our dogs/ GSD would have ran/ barked if so or if it was wildlife. We know the difference between red reflecting eyes from a predator, these were glowing and big difference. I witnessed the bright white flash Feb 15th 2022 and got it briefly on video during a separate sighting.

We are both veterans of 101st Airborne and are familiar with helicopter, aircraft movement and it did not behave like an aircraft or drone based on how quickly it would change positions. We have also had a few other experiences, especially more recently I will also report separately.

I was out back before leaving for work and noticed a very bright white almost at times blue light in woods just behind our fence. It was approx 5 feet tall as if a light was reflecting from a flat tall mirror. The light had sort of a watery type moment similar to bright light reflected off water, was very odd. I was shocked while I was watching it trying to figure out what it could possibly be and was only able to video a few seconds of it as it slowly became dimmer. It's literally in the middle of the woods, no light source, no reflection possibly. I will try and upload the video clip. I am former infantryman and OIF veteran of 101st airborne so I've spent most my life in woods never seen anything like it. This is a follow up of incident we had yesterday I recently report my wife woke me up because she now witnessed it. I actually still have a text from this incident I went back and compared to and we saw the same thing. I tried to take screen shot of the video clip it's difficult to see its over the garden decoration windmill to the right. I also took screen shot of the text.

I was on the phone with a friend of mine and was looking out the window of my bedroom when a light appeared heading north from the top of the window. I thought at first it could have been a plane but there were no flashing lights and it was moving around the sky erratically. It was heading in a general northern direction but was curving to the left and right in ways that a plane couldn't have. I then thought that maybe it was a drone but those too have flashing lights and it seemed close enough that I would have been able to see them. Once it got about three quarters' down the length of my window it stopped moving and then just disappeared. There were no trees or anything that it could have moved behind. It was just in the sky, and it just blinked out and was gone.

Glowing coral colored object moved at a flat trajectory from east to west at an amazing speed. Object was about 15 feet in length by 5 feet wide, traveling at a height of about 2,000 feet above ground level. Absolutely no sound to this object and STUNNING SPEED!! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sighted a group of five or six lights moving in formation across the sky over a field. They seemed to be connected to form some kind of craft, though it was hard to tell unless you looked very closely. Some of them were colored red and green. The movement was irregular, it almost looked as if the craft was swimming or crawling. Pointed them out to my partner and we watched for a good hour or so. We returned to the same field for two more nights, and the formation/lights were still there, though the object moved less and the lights seemed dimmer.
