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.

Was at Beckley treatment Center in Beaver,West Virginia and witnessed 10 evenly spaced lights standing in a line across sky..It moved at a slightly slow rate of speed and disappeared into the horizon and wasn’t seen again...There was 40-50 people present that saw the same thing and it’s right besides the airport and nothing should be flying there..No sound no flashing.. My wife and I checked for data lite schedules and none were present on our side of Us !! After it disappeared everyone there was in awww.

This is the 2nd time I'm contacting this site, I reported a sighting back in March in the Athens area and today I was a witness to another event much more bigger and closer than the last sighting. I travel 40mi to my job in Beaver 5 days a week from Athens, most of I-77 and I-64 to my work does not have lights and it's a drive in the dark most of the way, when I was traveling East on I-64 I was 3 exits away from Airport Road that leads to the industrial park, I noticed to the Northeast Venus and to the East I noticed a light behind some clouds, which I assumed was the moon, when I reached my exit I noticed that the light was getting bigger and just when I started to turn into the exit I noticed to my right the light had broken through the clouds to reveal a huge purple sphere with 4 smaller purple rounded spheres under it in perfect formation (best way to describe the formation of the 4 rounded spheres on the botton is like the 4 dots on a pair of dice), about 300 yards away from me and about a height of 1500-2000 feet, I had no where safe to pull over and take a photo because this exit is very small and has concrete barriers on both sides and I had at least a vehicle behind me, when I finally got on Airport Road, I passed the Shell gas station and noticed 2 people in the stations parking lot looking up to the sky in the direction the spheres were, I decided to pull over in front of the hotel accross the street from the gas station to take a 2nd look at this thing and to attempt to take a photo, when I got out of my vehicle the spheres were gone but I could notice a very faint purple trail mixed in the clouds left behind by this thing. I will send a photo I found online that's very similar to what I saw and a drawing to this sites email address.
