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 setting up my telescope when a friend of mine stopped by. He mentioned that he had looked through a telescope but hasn’t ever actually seen anything through one. So I set up the telescope and first focus on Saturn abs have him look. Then I gave him check out Jupiter and it’s different colored layers. Then I say to him the fun part is when you point it in an area where you can’t see anything and play with the focus. I set the focus to see past Jupiter and turned the telescope 180 degrees. My friend looks through the lens and says, “What the f***, you’re going to want to see this.” When I looked I could see two of whatever they were.(I’ll include a drawing of what we saw). They were red and yellow circular in shape with multiple flame like tails trailing behind them like some kind of propulsion system. For the matter of their size the circular part at the front looked to be about the same size Jupiter has appeared maybe 2 minutes before seeing these, but the trails were massive. I looked away for a second to look at my friend and say,”whoa.” When I looked back they were gone. I instantly did a drawing of what we had seen so I wouldn’t forget. I’m a fairly decent artist although you wouldn’t be able to tell from this drawing because I did it fast so nothing would be lost from my memory. I’m pretty Good with proportions seeing as how I have to make drawings to scale for my company. But this is what they looked like.

On Friday, November 4, 2020, at 7:49 pm PST, I witnessed a string of lights rising in the sky at a uniform rate from about 15 degrees above the horizon to about 45 degrees above the horizon due west of Grants Pass, Oregon. When first observed there were 5 or 6 lights equidistant from each other at about a 70-degree angle to the horizon. They started to move up to a point above the highest light and more followed the lowest point. In all about 12 dots of light moved up and disappeared just above the point of the original highest light. The dots of light were like the size of the stars in the night sky at that time.

As we continued to watch more and more of these lights were appearing. There were at least 30 to 40 very bright lights. These were in a single file formation, they appeared to be going straight up into the sky. The sky is very clear tonight ,we are able to see most stars very clear. It seems to be a pretty dark night with no moon that we can see from where we are. After the lights faded out, and watching for about one to two minutes. As soon as they were all gone the star just to the left of where the formation had disappeared. It became really bright for about 5 seconds, than back to normal. At which time all the dogs around our home including our three started barking. They barked for about 10 minutes.

A stream of fast moving lights that looked like stars in alignment evenly moving across the sky from south to north and then one of the lights took off really fast towards the west - that looked like a brighter traveling comet.

A line of round white lights (approx. 50), a little larger than satellite size, moved across the sky in a straight line. At first approximately 30 lights were evenly spaced,then about 20 of the same lights moved in the same line unevenly spaced. They moved from approximately west to east across the sky over Grants Pass, Or., at 6:30 PM. They appeared to be satellite height - traveling much higher than any plane.

A line of round white lights (approx. 50), a little larger than satellite size, moved across the sky in a straight line at the same speed. At first approximately 30 lights were evenly spaced (about 3" apart from my perspectiv, then about 20 of the same lights moved in the same line unevenly spaced. They appeared in the West and disappeared in the East as the sky permitted. They seemed to move faster than any satellite I have ever seen. They moved from approximately west to east across the sky over Grants Pass, Or., at 6:30 PM. They appeared to be satellite height - traveling much higher than any plane.
