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 looking north East at Sirius a brilliant white light passed at extremely rapid speed in the shape of a triangle then disappeared. Approximately 1 sec

From my bed I could see 7 orange balls of light moving slowly from south to northwest at around 11:40PM on 2/23/19. I got up and opened the window and continued to watch the lights move slowly for another 2 minutes or so. There were 2 groups of 3 and a single one that was trailing behind. After that they seemed to disappear into the cloud cover.

Walked outside to smoke and sky watch. Looking east because because it was my best view on a stary night I sky watched as I slowly smoked my cigarette. Not really a sky nut where I know where every star is located, but not uninformed either Finished my cigarette and turned and walked to the house. As I was walking to the door I looked up and noticed orions belt. Stopped dead in my tracks because I was just skywatching orions belt dead east. Walked back into the yard to look and there was orions belt. I stood there and ask myself why there is two belts and just then what I originally thought was the belt started to tilt and them started to move. I put my phone on video and started to film but didn't think it would pick it up. I ran inside to wake my brother for an eyewitness and then continued to film not knowing my phone actually filmed it. Well to say the least next time I will stick to the phone because what i did capture was good video and I'm disappointed cause I could have captured the whole event.

As I was driving down route 9 near the freehold mall, I saw something in the sky that caught my eye because it was bright and moving very fast in a perfectly horizontal line. It went from one end of the sky to the other and broke off into 4 perfectly round objects, all the same exact size and then they swooped down behind trees and disappeared. I have seen shooting stars before and none lasted this long nor were they travelling such a perfectly straight line! I went online the same day to see others were posting about the same exact thing I saw so I know there had to be many witnesses.

Walking dog, heard a noise and white light coming over the trees. Looked up thinking there was a very low flying plane. Once the aircraft emerged fully from the tree line, I noticed that this was no airplane or aircraft that I have ever seen before. Aircraft was massive in size but was moving pretty slow. It was pretty loud as well. It was a perfect triangle with white lights at each corner and a red flashing light in the middle.
