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 Apr25 2020 at approximately 20:00 I went outside my house as it was a beautiful evening I had my cell phone with me. I may have been outside 5 minutes looking to the west i could see the moon and Venus clearly. I decide to take a picture on my cell phone and after I stood and watched the skies for a short time there after. I never saw the object at any point it was only after going back through photos on my cell phone did I discover that the object was there May 27 2020. I went on line to see what the skies were like as far as planets available in that part of the sky visible at that point on Apr 25 2020 only Venus was up and of course the moon...again I did not see any movement from my perspective left to right or right to left or vertical up or down...and had my see toward that part of the sky for at least another 5 or so minutes after taking the picture before going in the house.

First, I noticed a bright light , bluish, which drew my attention . The color changed to red, orang-ish, seemed to be in the formation of a circle or oval, from the light blue to the reddish color back and forth . Saw just north of where I am in sun city, maybe 5 miles north. At first was very low, and circled for about 6 minutes, then travelled East , I lost sight of it 10 minutes in ..... I have seen this before, and now I am positive it is not human aircraft , at least not the kind any division will admit too . WAY BIZZARE ! It swormed for a few mintues in every location it went ... As if it was searching for something .... Almost looked like a jailbird, but I know for a fact it wasn't. That's how low it was . Possibly the same object reported by the news as a probable meteor. We agree. See photos of smoky trail left high in the sky above Arizona. PD

On May 28th, 2016, I noticed an orangish-red circular object in the sky north of Sun City, AZ. My first thought was that it was a planet until it moved—not very much and slowly. This object stayed there for an hour while I watched it and was still there when I went to bed. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this object.

In the Northwest sky there were flashing lights which, in succession, would flash and disappear then reappear in another very nearby location. They would do this 3-5 times and appeared to "travel" in a straight line, however, that line could be horizontal, diagonal or completely vertical. Shortly after the occurrence a group of four Air Force jets from flew through the area and proceeded North, then circled the rest of the metro Phoenix area and headed back to Luke AFB. I am unsure how or if these are related.

2 orange/yellow lights in the south western part of the sky. 4 more appeared to the west of the first 2. There was a large space between the first and second, then the second and the last 4. The last four appeared after the first 2 were hovering and those 4 remained in a cluster, slightly to the right (west) of the first 2. They disappeared after about 15-20 minutes.

Husband was in the swimming pool and tapped on the kitchen window for me to come outside. I walked out, and he pointed to a bright spo
