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.

On Sunday November 5th of 2023 at 2:45pm at 86th and Zionsville Rd in Indianapolis, I was looking up into the sky when I observed a circular whirlwind and about 40 or more unidentified chevron winged aircraft in the sky. The aircraft was very high up and was visible for about 5 minutes. I only caught 52 seconds of it in video and I took 1 snapshot picture. Most of the aircraft had disappeared or fallen out of my view by the time I made the video and took a photo.

The black orbs would space out and then come back together. While flying through the sky. I have never seen anything like this in my life!

I was looking at the sky and asked my roommate to come look at the bright light in the sky above my neighbors house. At first I thought it was a drone but it was too big. The moon was south of this, the object was east. I took a picture but it was moving, so we took 2 videos of it. It almost danced in the sky. I held my phone still and the object appeared to come closer and had a swirl shape and it would drop out of the camera and then come right back up. It was bright white and had a yellowish bottom edge. We watched this for approximately 15 minutes until it disappeared. We went to bed and I had forgotten about it until later that afternoon.

July 21 2023 3:30am, My dog was watching something so I looked out the door and saw this orb flying around darting back and forth then it flew up and was gone, July 22 3:36am dog was acting the same, instead of the risk of scaring it off again I watched this object on my surveillance camera from my phone sure enough it was back, I started taking pictures, you can not see through this object and when blown up you can see a slight glow around it.
