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.

2 star-like objects very close together not moving but there was too much cloud cover to see other stars. Slightly blinking, disappeared after watching for about an hour. Saw planes near lights. Seemed stationary in nature but they disappeared after we tracked them for about an hour. Jupiter and Venus

I was standing outside in my front driveway and was on the phone talking to an associate around 9pm. I looked up to the brightest star in the sky which could have been either the north star or Sirius, I am not sure, but I noticed a quiet bright white light traveling at a steady pace from west to north east. I then noticed that 3 seconds later at an even distance another light followed behind the first light in the same exact path. Then 3 seconds later another appeared, then 3 seconds later another light appeared following the others in the exact same path, the exact same distance and speed as the others. I told my associate and he laughed and said he believes me because he has seen things like that before, so I asked him to let me call him back. I called my mother outside to look at them, and she was able to see them from a far away distance beneficially for here because she had laser eye surgery which make her able to see better far away but not so close. ! She was freaked out at them but shocked and wanted to take pictures. I tried to shoot video and take photos with our iphones, but the lighting and aperture was so dark that everything looked unclear and distorted. She and I knew they were not from this earth. She was able to see 4 of last UFO's passing through before we noticed that no more were to be seen at this location. There was no sound the whole time. I listened for helicopter blades and airplane engines and heard no sound. This siting went on for about 5-10 minutes. I was told this is called a fleet of UFO's. They were all just one behind each other the same distance apart as a train and its following cars....very cool but very scary.

As I watched it move from north to south it looked like a chevron shape at one point with 3 red lights making up one chevron and 3 on the other. I tried to follow and get a better look but I lost sight of it and drove around trying to see it again but no luck. I have a privates pilots license and am very familiar with airplanes. While I can't say with certainty it wasn't a plane, because it happened so fast, it certainly looked different. Very curious if anyone else in South Jackson saw it

Grey V shape about 200 yards if on ground. Flying Southwest. Silent. "Unrelated" Military helicopters flying around today then right after it flew by. Coincidence?

I was on my way home from a class, and I noticed a large object just north of Countyline Road. Initially, I thought it was an airplane with its headlights on as it turned towards me. However, it turned towards I-55 and hovered just over the trees/buildings off of the interstate. If I had been closer to the airport, I may not have paid it much attention, but I was miles from the airport for the plane to be that low. I was able to get it on my dash cam and cell phone.
