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 see this object every day it’s always in the same place. With the naked eye it looks like just a bright light in the SE sky even after sunrise it is still noticeable

Initial sighting of smallish craft I thought it was a drone, flashing blue and white lights rhythmically. It appeared over the tree line near the intersection of US 41 and Barefoot Williams Road. It flew slowly towards the east it did not pause, was very deliberate. It appeared to maintain the same altitude from my perspective. I was able to see it against clear, dark, nearly cloudless sky. It traversed nearly 6 miles slowly disappearing from my view. It’s approximate location when it was out of. My sight would’ve been Collier Boulevard somewhere north of US 41.My dog heard it before I actually saw it. It was only moments later that it came into my view. it was a very low sound somewhat like a hum or tone. Constant sound, it didn’t change. The lights were what made it most noticeable, actual shape of the craft, for lack of a better term was almost indistinguishable as any real shape. I had believed it to be a drone at first but it flew way, WAY too far for it to be under ground based control. Unless it was a military drone which I find highly unlikely in this area. It’s slow, consistent forward motion maintained the entire time I was able to see it. There was one moment after about nine minutes of watching it where it appeared to either stop or make a slight deviation to the north then it continued on to the west. In the following hour and a half, after losing sight of it, my dog heard something outside again, and reacted very violently. There was nothing outside that we could see.

2 lights in sky. Not moving. One is much higher. Just sitting camped over Gulf of Mexico. Some fishing boats present. Upon viewing through binoculars, they each appear metallic. There is a single light source in the middle of whatever this is. There are what look like windows on each thing. Bottom light has gotten dimmer in last few minutes.

Lasted seconds. We watched from the back of our home. Disappeared towards the west.

My friend and I had gone shopping and had gotten back to my place and we were looking at the sky (trying to catch a meteor) and I was mentioning that I had seen some drones and satellites the last few evenings, but that was it. Just then I said, “There’s one!” But then as we watched it and I saw how clearly bright and much closer than any satellite I’ve ever seen, and the rate of speed was not that of a normal satellite when you watch them-then this flew in a direct straight line, headed southeast to what I called “the Everglades area…” and the light just vanished and so unnaturally quickly that I knew then that it was something else. Also, Because I ALWAYS have my binoculars with me, we both had enough time to look at it for a few seconds and we both witnessed a dark moving mass around it, not to be seen with a naked eye. There was no form to it, almost looked like a dark shadow of a large bird flapping its wings all around it. I can hardly explain it. It was just a “blobby” shadow of energy, I would say. Who knows, but after seeing objects the evening before, and I reported it, this was entirely different and just as odd. No sound, just a traveling white star-like ball-

We were walking a friend out to her car, and stuck around the parking lot to catch a meteor from the Orionids Shower in the perfectly clear sky, and with already looking up, we simultaneously saw 3 very dark, almost a dark grey steel like arrowhead shaped crafts flying extremely close together, moving south, completely quiet, fairly low overhead, and they didn’t waver-at first I thought they were large birds migrating but as they got closer, I quickly realized they were anything but. I have been witnessing nightly drones, of several shapes, sizes, and light arrangements, this was nothing like that. I have even been told I am paranoid, because they have “followed” me. I assumed they were the local sheriffs facial recognition drones or something because our development is smack center of a recently sold golf course, and the county now owns it and for the time being, it’s a park. My husband was holding my binoculars, as he had been looking at constellations and such, and was in such awe, they were in his left hand, and he had pulled them away from his face, his arms in the air wondering what the hell is that? I’m staring as these crafts smoothly and with great speed fly overhead and I see the binoculars and grab them and try to get a better shot and they were over the roof. I ran back about 15-20 feet to see them and they were gone. They were so low, our 2 story condo roof, even stepping back, I couldn’t catch a glimpse again. I was completely freaked out, repeatedly saying, “What was that?? What the hell was that?” No lights? Perfectly straight flight pattern traveling so close together? They were darker than the night sky and I’m sure with light pollution we were able to see them. Quite an experience!
