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.

I seen these same orbs in August, in Tennesse, same time, same direction. They fade in and out of brightness and will reappear in a different spot and move quickly in any direction. In August they appeared to be playing with each other.

I was asleep and awoke to a loud noise of an aircraft almost on top of my house. I saw the blinking lights on my blinds. It did not sound like a helicopter. It was an intense sound and then was quickly gone.

I witnessed 2 orange objects coming from the east low on the horizon. The first one past over and I looked through my binoculars to see that the orange glow was actually 3 smaller lights group together on center underbelly of craft that was triangle in shape, at this time my wife came outside just in time to see the second craft approaching when all of the sudden the orange glow on second craft went out. The whole craft just disappeared, but when I raised my binoculars I could see a more rounded solid black object flying by. When I removed my binoculars I could no longer see it pull them back up and there it was I could not figure out why I couldn't see it without binoculars. I called 911 and made a report and the police came and arrested me. The sighting cost me $250 bond. The crafts were flying low may be a mile high just below cloud cover. The moon was just above the horizon.

I had looked down at my phone and saw it was 8:55 p.m and decided to finish closing things up . I looked north and saw some lights in the sky and didn't think anything . And then I thought what ?! I had never seen anything like it . I had closed many times out there and had never seen anything like it out there . 3 very bright orbs in a triangle formation hovering in place . And then to my shock they began to move into line . I was so freaked out that I quickly finished my tasks , that took no more than 5 minutes and when I looked back . They were gone . In the time they were there I snagged a video of the line formation
