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.

We walked outside and my boyfriend looked up and said babe what is that? I seen the same thing back in 1999, so I ran inside for a phone to record. It was a line of at least 20 orbs of light, connected by strands of the same color light. It stayed very still and just passed on by. Lasted about 1-2 mins. This color was a light blue/white. I know it’s not Starlink because I seen this same thing over 20 years ago but a different color and there were two lines of them with less amount of orbs. Same speed, same design. I later on found the same picture in a UFO book at school 2 years later and it said they can be different colors. Then a different aircraft passed by 10 minutes later, lights like a drone, but it was loud in the sky, too low for a plane. And it stayed around the neighborhood for some time. My boyfriend recorded the video. After it was all done with we went to check the video, it never recorded. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

The main object didn't move much it was the smaller objects that moved quick as Christmas lights is what caught my attention the weather that night was very very windy and the fact they were so high up makes me think it wasn't commercial drones they came in between onions belt and the north star and that's where they did the little light show and one by one the lights went out and then the big one was the last to go I reported this because it's the day after the 1st Chinese Ballon I don't think it was green lizard people trying to steal our cows or people it was all just very odd

Was on my way to work and across the street from Kroger. I saw and object that looked like a doughnut. It was heading south. No lights or odd movements. Looked like chrome polished to a mirror like finish.

Newark, OH
Around 4:30AM on Thursday March 28, I saw a bright red flash directly overhead at about my 12 o'clock. Several seconds passed and I expected to see another flash as if it were an airplane, but it took almost 10 seconds before I saw another super bright red flash in the western sky. There was no sound. I have seen many meteors and know what the planets look like. I am actively interested in avaition and can identify most types of planes. I have seen a day time fireball and this was not that as it was a bright flash. It did not intensify like an Iridium satellite, or reentry of space junk. For 30 years, I have been looking at the sky and this one has me stumped.
