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 was testing my new cell camera during the launch, this was after the launch cleared, etc. I saw lights, orbs, with colors, moving (what I first thought were stars, turned out to be balls of light? Possibly?) around each other, then one disappeared behind the treeline. I shot video, quickly and clumsily, but, it's the best I could do.

Object sighted moving at a great speed. Neighbor alerted witness to the object. As he turned to view it he caught it as it slowed down radically. it remained moving south in a straight path for 2 to 3 seconds then burst forth at a great leap in speed. Yellowish multiple lights, 5 to 7 in number in a crescent shape. Crazy fast movement and acceleration. no sound at all.

Wife left pool to get phone and head to front yard to take a picture of object. Within a minute, a second object appeared on the same trajectory. I then when to front yard and informed wife that a second object was about to appear over the house. I went inside and grabbed a digital camera and managed to take one picture when it was lower on the south west horizon.

3:08 am Tuesday oct 22 the m laying on the hood of my truck looking up at the small stars scattered all over the sky when I realize all the small balls of light are actually moving all over the sky they range from small to big and different colors and brightness. I started to think I was crazy because every single one would move in any direction the either disappear into another light in the general area or it would break apart into either one or even up to 5 different color balls of light. Then each ball of light would dance around each other at random distances and come back together I to one light. Every few minutes at a random area in the sky these balls of light would flash a light towards another ball of light. It’s amazing the whole sky is covered with moving star like objects that move around random directions starting at one ball of light and break up int a number of different options this has been going on for hours. My opinion they are intelligent! ly operated.
