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.

Standing on back porch looking at the sky and never seen anything until I seen a brief bright blue intense streak that was like a teardrop but triangular shape and showed my girlfriend and the light disappeared after her noticing it as well.

I was outside with my 2 sons observing the super flower blood moon when we notice 2 bright objects with what looked like a force field around it flying in our field of view going faster than anything I’ve ever seen in my 43 years of living. I’m constantly looking in the sky and see all type of objects from Starlink, to airplanes to satellites but this was something different. As stated it was moving at a very high rate of speed. Faster than any plane or satellite I’ve seen. It left me in awe to observe it and the speed of which it was moving. It was egg shaped with what appeared to be some sort of force field around it. I was going to try and capture a picture but when I looked at my phone to open my camera the light kept me from being able to see in the dark. By the time my vision was clear again they were long gone.

They came from the East in tight formation at first, grouped together, they were black circular objects yet shining due to the setting sun. They broke up and scattered into pairs of two, moving westward and disappeared when a plane passed by. I have pictures!-

Macon, GA
Saw descending flying or blinding object on horizon in early morning hours. It appeared as a double diamond enveloped in flames with a long tail or double tail. Object was dark. Appeared to have blue white flame tail(s). I was amazed at sight. It had a slow linear descent at about -20 degrees. Did not appear as meteor or meteorite, which I’ve seen in the past. Appeared large in the distance. If meteor, it would have caused massive impact and explosion, but did not. Object was hidden from view by trees in horizon. Source of report provides a nice illustration of the two diamond-shaped craft, apparently coursing across the morning sky in close proximity to one another. PD

On 12/11/2017 I was driving south on I-75 between mile markers 125 and 126 a little bit south of Macon, GA, at approximately 22:15 EST. I caught movement out of my peripheral vision and looked out the passenger side of my windshield to see a bright ball of light hovering just above the tree line. As I watched the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I got goosebumps up and down my arms. The ball was a very bright white light and looked to be about 50-75 yards away. It hovered over the trees for a couple of seconds and made a rapid (1-2 seconds) vertical decent into the trees. It didn’t flicker behind the trees but kept the same brightness and solid ball shape. It looked to be between the size of a golf ball and a small tangerine at that distance.
