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.

Around 3am, I saw a "glimmer" but not light or a star, etc.. Cigar shaped, completely dark object flew fast, north to south, directly overhead. No sound, no lights...like a silouette or reflected moonlight bc you could see its form easily. Could not tell height or size only it was probably large and moved at a rate as if you'd see a helicopter fly by, for example. I watched it for about 10 seconds until I couldn't follow its path due flying over Atlantic City (lots of city lights, etc). It was not a plane of any kind and much too fast for a blimp although its dimensions could be explained as such. Not a doubt in my mind that this was a craft and would be near impossible to see if not just happening to be looking at stars in the exact location of its "flight path". Will absolutely be looking more in coming days. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It appeared 0n August 10, 2019, at 9:22 pm above the ocean in Brigantine, New Jersey. It was round with red, green, and white lights. No sound at all it hovered for a few minutes then slowly moved and disappeared into the clouds. It was seen at our beach house back deck above the ocean. We have video of it but it is not that good. We were in shock at what we were seeing.

I was taking pictures of my kids playing on the beach with thunderstorms in the background. Object showed up in pictures was not visible at the time they were taken. Top left corner in photos. Other photos taken at same time did not have these objects so I know it was Nova smudge.

I was walking home from bus stop in Brigantine, about 12:15 am, and saw a moving light catch my eye that I almost immediately dismissed as a plane. It was a big red/orange glowing ball and it went shooting to 2 stars, grew big in size and then floated and disappeared.

1 orange/yellow fireball flying north. Circular with observable flames. Silent, moving at a steady speed. I watched it for about 30 seconds until it went over a building and out of site. Much lower than an airplane as the flames were clearly visible. Hazy night, very few visible stars. Made no sound, had no trail.
