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.

3 weird lights in a row and then another 3 weird lights above those. Not moving. Just sitting. Looks like big windows in the sky.

Coming home from a birthday dinner with my husband, daughter & grandson, while walking up a pathway from carport to access elevator to 3rd Fl condo unit we heard a rumbling sound and looked directly up to see a large, triangular shaped ship that had a very bright light from the ships center. It was not much higher then our 3 story building. It stayed hovering a few minutes. Us staring at it, & it at us, then it zoomed off. We were shocked and a bit frightened.

While looking to the South, I witnessed a very fast moving object which had at least 2 visible lights on it, moving from West to East above the tree tops, but far enough away to suspect it was off at a distance of miles. It traveled faster than any human occupied object, and turned to the South before speeding off quickly even faster. It made no noise, nor did noise arrive after it passed.

Just prior to sunrise, I was awakened by bright lights. At first I thought it was a car driving by, but then wondered what car, there's no road or house outside of my window. So then I thought it may have been a flashlight? Was there someone outside of my window? About a minute later I saw three circular white lights in line with each other and a single on beneath flashing through my bedroom window's curtain; this was definitely not a flashlight. I was too frightened to look out the window. The lights didn't return once the sun rose. Found this website and previous posts lead me to believe what I saw. Did anyone else see these? This is the second occurrence.

A friend & myself, observed an oval shaped orange & white glow move across his house. It was approximately 1,000 to possibly 1,500 miles up. Came from the East, heading in a straight line West. It was silent, did not stop, but kept a straight path west, towards the Gulf of Mexico. It was oval shaped, glowed in orange, & had a sliver of white light. No lights were detected on this craft, such as an airplane or helicopter. I researched my sighting description online, & found exact images of what my friend & I saw from many others in many countries, termed as Japanese lanterns.
