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.

Hovered for quite awhile. Thought it was an airplane but then an airplane came by. Had never seen anything like it.

Circular shape that went translucent at times. It moved sporadically at rapid speeds while spinning. Attached video footage and have many more. The UFO began showing itself in December of 2021 at my old house and followed me to the new house. It can be observed for hours some nights with different hues surrounding it. Some photos, we’ve thought a face was present.

I was watching a fireworks display at the imperial beach pier, as the sky lit up from the fireworks I saw a teardrop shaped craft flying horizontal towards the ocean. The object could have been oval or circular with an air stream behind it but I am not sure. I pointed to it and said "what is that?" a person next to me said "I saw it too" it looked like a falling star but it wasn't going downward, just straight across the sky. After it passed for about 5 seconds it disappeared

We saw a triangle shaped object. Looked to be mirrored on one to two sides. As it rotated it appeared to change color to white. It looked to hover about 400 to 500 feet up in the air and then slowly ascend upwards, then disappeared. We saw it change rotation.
