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 walking my dog at approximately 9:35 PM, I noticed a bright orange light above the tree line. My dog and I both watched the light grow larger as if it was coming toward us for approximately 1 to 2 minutes before it shrunk into a white light and disappeared. There were no sounds.

I was in my room and I saw 3 almost translucent/holographic small sort of dark bell-shaped objects appear all in a row and of equal size in a straight line, they hovered around as if I was being observed - they moved around the room a bit and then disappeared. While they were present, I stuck my arm out and moved it through the objects from left to right, as I did that - the cross section appeared as maroon with some yellow where my arm cut through them, this is how I know they were not just a trick of the eye or something like that- I interacted with them by doing this. Perhaps multi-dimensional? Also on 13Jul23, I was sleeping at my parent's house (they live on farmland in Enumclaw, WA) and I woke up around midnight to the dog barking. As I lifted my head up, I caught a dark image through the blinds moving away from the window - the window is waist high so it had to have been a taller subject and I recognized the movment to be strange/not like any animal. I got up and checked outside from all of the windows and saw nothing however it is dark in the felds. I went to lay back down and I saw through the blinds a light move from left to right quickly and then disappear- there is no light source in their backyard and no aircraft moves like that (that we know of). The dog stopped barking. Never in my life have I experienced anything like this that I am aware of at least.

Was stargazing with my husband and i noticed an area of the sky with lighter spots, but didnt say anything. A few minutes later, my husband asked if i see those bright areas. I took my phone out and took a picture that showed many triangular objects sitting at various angles, in the sky above us. We stayed watching for 5 minutes and went inside after feeling watched.

Hovering craft, no noise, quickly left, then came back hovered over the river. Close enough that I could see inside. I have video that shows part of what I saw. The river can be heard. A bird and myself. Not the craft.

on october of 2020 I had a funny feeling and I looked in the sky and there was this white light that slowly moved across the sky. I pulled out my phone to video tape it and My phone shut off. And it turned itself back on and I look in the sky and its gone. sometimes I can get video of It and it shrinks changes color and is like flying water is the best way I can describe it and sometimes they would morph into disks that were red and fly away I have probably 40 videos and pics of these anomaly's. My first time seeing these things was I was sitting In my room second day I moved into my new house september 2nd 2020 and I heard apaches which are a us army helicopter at roughly 12:20 at night and there were three and all of a sudden a triangle with three white lights that illumanated itsself teleported around the apaches and slowed and they flew around each almost playing and further opened my curtains to get a better look at this object and it zipped away and th! e apaches stuck around just standing still for like 20 minutes then they flew away. Ive noticed whenever I take a video or picture, the next time I get in the car at night I see usually like 3-4 craft that are usually rectangular with different colored windows that make up the rectangle and its like a light is being moved through it. most of the time I just see the craft that changes shape Its kind of creepy and I have stopped recording them and it helps thank you for trying to figure this out.

Light coming from the south; light noticeably changing from red to turquoise, in longer than common intervals. As it got closer, it stopped, did a zig-zag move, and then continued Northbound for a minute, growing more clear yet so far away. Sudden stop and sharp right turn, west-northwest. I shined a strong flashlight to see if it was a drone, but it was too far.
