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 walked out of RV turned towards N to sit on patio. Lots of white clouds all at a certain level with lots of blue between and all under. I see a white-as-the clouds, square.. possibly the slightest rectangle, top to bottom, mostly square. It was atop.. the center square of 3 below it. At first I thought lost sign or banner off a plane.. realized no words or colors on it and moving as if one piece yet I could see blue sky below top and in between. I ran in to get hand scope and before I could locate and focus in, it was gone. Moved fast to NE and crossed where I see IAH planes taking off nearby and gaining altitude. Definitely crossed take off space and Air Traffic Control at IAH and other planes must of had a better view. Should have stopped take offs, don't see landings coming that way... or they have a better explanation. My boyfriend told me when he got back from haircut, people were talking about all the military aircraft in the area. I saw none and maybe they were staying out of IAH airspace as it was long gone to NE. I reported to Baytown PD. He said no other reports at that time. I am a retired Police, Fire, Medical Dispatcher. Ex-EMT. 63yrs old,, female. I have seen other strange things in the sky. Reported before and will again.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t even a sighting at the time, although once in Indiana I saw a UFO shoot up diagonally into the sky. They are fast. Very fast. I was looking through old pics on my phone the other day, and saw this extraordinary photo of- what could be- a UFO!! It was taken at 06:29am on Monday Feb 15th. Why so early? My husband & I are truck drivers and we were stuck in Houston, TX during a historical deep freeze. We had just woken up to a frigid 12° outside, and I snapped a few photos of the thick ice everywhere. Nobody could move all week. Highways were empty, stores closed, people froze to death:( What I cannot understand is why the first photo (sans light in the clouds) was taken at 06:22, and the photo WITH the light was timestamped 7 minutes later at 06:29. Also, I looked at the IMG numbers of the photo sequence on my phone, and there is a number missing in between these two photos, which means it was deleted. I have no memory of deleting that, nor taking the 2nd photo of the light and only NOW noticed this exciting (possible) encounter from last year!! Any help you can provide would be so greatly appreciated, and thank you NUFORC for everything you do!!

One night a few years ago I went outside like I would any other night after work to wind down from the day. I wanted to get a photo for Snapchat to update my followers a bit. After I took the photo and typed the words I noticed 2 objects one more visible than the others and I got a bit excited. I then went inside to be sure that I wasn’t mistake of the photo I had just gotten so I showed it to my sister and brother and they also confirmed they thought it was a bit unusual as well.

I was driving down 7th street toward ward road to locate the source of such large flashing cloud, but as I drove it moved away from me until finally disappearing, totally out of sight by the store on Beaumont street bit leaving behind a smoke trail in the sky. I told my husband to check to see if there was any fires in the area and there were none.
