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 am a little freaked out because it is actually the third time I have seen this. The first time I saw this was on Sept. 9, 2022 and reported it to this website. The second time I saw it was just a single fast moving light glow at 10:10 moving it the same trajectory and in the same area of the sky. So I started watching when I could and when the sky was clear around the same time of night. And just like the night of the 9th, tonight at exactly 10:07 I saw an identical pair of lights that moved in exactly the same way. There were two cool-colored soft glows traveling from the southeast to the northwest parallel to the coastline. They travelled one behind the other at a high altitude and lasted about 3 seconds and then faded away. They covered approximately 30 degrees of view during their travel and were separated from each other by about 5 degrees. They were moving far faster than a satellite and they didn't look like meteorites. I am going to continue my routine of watching around 10:00 to see if the pattern continues and I encourage others to do the same.

While I was looking for meteors of the Perseid meteor shower on August 15, 2022, at approximately 10:00 at night, I saw two cool-colored soft glows traveling from the southeast to the northwest parallel to the coastline. They travelled one behind the other at a high altitude and lasted about 3 seconds and then faded away. They covered approximately 30 degrees of view during their travel and were separated from each other by about 5 degrees. They looked different than the meteors I saw during that time. Unlike the two soft glows, the meteors were warm in color, sharp in outline and brighter.

My husband and I were sitting in our balcony overlooking our neighbor’s roof and in the distance, a bright light, like a spotlight, just appeared out of nowhere. It hovered for a few minutes while we watched wondering what it was. We got our iPhone to start recording to see if we could get a closer look then it moved and shot up so far up in the sky by the stars and hovered. Then shot across the sky over our home.

I saw numerous what looked like satellites moving at satellite speed moving in a straight line from the south west to the north east. There were first two moving in the same path only a few seconds apart. Then a little further north were many more some of which appeared to be following the same path and equidistant from each other. At one point there were at least four of them equidistant following each other visible at the same time.

I CAN SEE PILLAR POINT AIR FORCE BASE FROM MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW. AT APPROXIMATELY :45 AM ON FRIDAY NIGHT DEC. 6, 2019 ( JUST TURNED SATURDAY MORNING DEC. 7, 2019) THE SKY OVER PILLAR POINT AIR FORCE BASE LITE UP GREEN (SIMILAR TO THE COLOR OF THE NORTHER LIGHTS IN ALASKA). I RAN TO THE WINDOW TO LOOK AT THE SKY AT WHICH TIME I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN VERY SHORT ( BLINK OF THE EYE) POWER OUTAGE. I HAVE DIRECT TV AND THE SERVICE WENT INTO RESTART MODE. I was too stunned to think in time to take a picture, but would like more information about what kind of activity could create such an event

I talked to my Nephew and he said it would be fine to use his name. I will put contact in later in the report. We have received no photos, that we are aware of, and we have attempted to contact the source of the report on two occasions, but unsuccessfully. PD
