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.

6 orange orbs moving from south east to west. Only 4 were recorded on video from phone. No sound except the water flowing into pool, since this was recorded from inside my pool enclosure. The orbs brightened randomly.

I was watching the birds fly in the sky and noticed 2 bright lights that were very close to one another but connected which looked like a tick tack. I watched it float in the sky at a very slow pace. There was even a commercial jet that flew much closer to me and underneath it. There was no sound and no contrails. It just kept moving until it was out of sight. I video taped it with my phone.

I noticed it in the sky far enough to be over the ocean with really bright flashing lights on the object. Then the lights went out and it started to slowly sink as if it was sinking down closer and closer to the Gulf. I lost it after it went behind trees that are in my backyard but it was far enough away that I knew it was over the ocean which is about 4 miles from my house. I just thought it was very odd that this thing in the sky had this big bright lights on them like they had headlights or something. It was not a plane because it ever so slowly just kept sinking and sinking downward.

“Language disclaimer in the video” UFO appeared to be a wide disk like object that was flashing Multiple colors. It was hovering in the sky and appeared to be bouncing in different directions. Stationary but moving around in odd directions. The center of it seemed to be a dark spot with the lights to both sides . I also have multiple videos.

On the night of this occasion. I was sitting under a very cloudy night in Florida at or about 2:30 AM. I saw a light coming through the clouds but didn’t pay much attention. Thought it was a clearing in the sky for the moon to come through but it turned out to be more than that. It sat there in the shape of a vessel and later to see bright blue lights go off to its side. Releasing other vessels. Smaller ones to over see. It sat silently there no other aircraft around. No sound. But it after about a half hou,r just silently went back up into the clouds. So my words to you. Is I’ll never ever see a thing like this but I want to be notified of your input. Thank you ((name deleted))
