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.

Viewed 3 objects low in the southern sky moving slowly from east to northwest (the objects were perhaps 3 miles east of Elizabeth and approximately 5 to 25 miles from my vantage point). I initially thought they were merely aircraft since all objects were intermittently flashing white and red light (the dominant color throughout was red). However, the objects were silent, flew in a straight line equidistant apart, and maintained that formation throughout my observation to the south. As they proceeded into the western sky, the lights no longer flashed and instead glowed red. As the objects moved into the northwestern sky, I noted a curvature in the lights which more closely resembled an enormous disc. I went indoors to retrieve my wife, who also observed the object until it moved out of sight. We are both retired and scan/enjoy the sky daily from our patio observing all manner of aircraft. This was markedly different. My wife was a financial analyst and I am a retired 4th grade teacher.

I sent my nephew to get my laptop from my car and when he came back in he said, " oh by the way, what are those lights out there?" I asked what light and he said, they've been there for like 10 minutes. I rushed to my dad's window and saw about 5 extremely bright lights, staying still in the sky. I called my mom into the room and she said they were aiplanes, but after observing them for about 5 minutes and still no movement just bright lights we figured they couldn't possibly be airplanes. Suddenly, a few more lights started flickering in the background of the already bright lights in the dark night sky. Then suddenly one of the brighter lights dashed incredibly fast to the other side of the sky. All three of us then rushed to my brothers window facing the front of the house and saw that there were other lights gathering around that one brighter light. It was almost as if they were doing a fornation. Suddenly there was a total of 10 super bright lights just floating in the sky. I called my brother and asked him to peak outside from his job site and see if he saw anything and while I was on the phone the lights started flickering and a few others just seemed to disappear into the night sky, until all were gone. We were convinced that these were no airplanes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
