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.

I seen it so perfectly clear and now I'm convinced that we are not alone.

Small light in the sky, joined by 2 others of same size, color and round shape. Moving in quick unusual fast movements. Then disappeared and immediately reappear. Flashing on and off periodically. Guess is that we were fairly far away and they retreated toward the northeast away from us quickly. The trails were barely perceptible except for the full moon was in the sky to the right of the crafts thus the trail and the craft were illuminated much more so than on a moonless sky. This may be why we were able to see them so far away. Our dog continuously barked and went back and forth outside sensing something.

Was sitting at a bus outside my complex at night with a friend, I looked into the sky randomly and spotted a long object with a row of lights running along it, moving at a really slow motion at an Angle. There was No sound that we could hear. After our initial shock and taking a photo, which my phone had adjusted to nighttime vision. I tried to take a video but the object gradually disappeared/went into a cloaking. The photos I have attached are the object and how it was edited by the phones night vision.

I kept staring and they moved a bit but primarly stood still. One looked smaller than the other who was much much brighter. My partner came back from walking our dogs and stood outside to take pictures of it. Letting me know that she experienced something weeks ago but around 4am before heading to work. And thought she was seeing things since she was still tired. The objects with bright lights stayed there for about 30 minutes or more. The last time I went back and looked they seemed to fade away like moving back away from us but without movement if that makes sense.
