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.

At 1314hrs until 1317 hrs on the date provided I saw 5 circular lights in straight formation with 2 lights directly under the 5. I reported this event to the local authorities and asked them to call me back because I have never seen or reported anything like this before. The lights lasted for 3 minutes and suddenly disappeared. They made no noise or blink, they just all disappeared at once. I asked the authorities to check air traffic with navigation towers. There’s multiple airports in the area. The lights never blinked or changed colors they just disappeared all at the same time. I also asked them to ask the tracking stations if there were any transponder signals. Please let me know if you find out anything about this event.

We seen them 3 different times. They appeared of of nowhere. I got a minute video of them in flight. You can hear screaming when they flew over.

Flying very slowly in the Southern sky near the Aquarius constellation were a total of 4 large red lights in an "L" formation. 3 vertical with 1 to the side. It appeared to be very, very large and to be one craft that blocked the stars behind it. It flew very slow, silently and the lights blinked in no particular order randomly and without pattern. The round lights were very large. Suddenly a white light, like a vertical beam appeared below the single red light that was off to the side and the entire craft slowly dropped below the tree line and was gone.

Resembled small Star Wars jet, light in color with green, red & white lights; almost completely silent, going relatively fast curving a sharp right past vision. Low flying, too small to carry more than two people. Appeared out of nowhere, from the east.

I was driving last night on a dark portion of the the highway, some trees on either side of the highway but the sky above me was uncovered. The sky was mostly clear, you could see the stars clearly. In front of me I thought I saw a shooting star, so I looked up, but it was closer and larger than any comet or shooting star I’ve seen and lasted for a while. There was a bright green round core, and a silver/green trail of light behind it, like a comet would have, but much larger and closer. It lasted for about 4-6 seconds, was traveling very fast, and then disappeared quickly before it reached the horizon.
