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 was driving back home from Watertown, heading south on 81. When I was passing the Parish exit looking at the city lights reflecting off the clouds when I noticed an amberish colored light in the clouds. There is an overcast tonight so no stars are visible. It didnt have directional lights like a tipical aircraft. It stayed in the same position for about 10 minutes. When I passed by tall trees I lost sight but when I came to a clearing it was gone. Did anyone else see this tonight?

Two separate occasions... red balls traveling northbound through center of sky. First one seemed to "burn out", after a bit and then turned black, as it was still going North. The second ball about 3 minutes later did not burn out... update... as I was writing this. A third went by and burned out right over us.

It moved from straight overhead to beyond the trees, I ran beyond the trees and looked around in the sky, it was gone, no trace. I felt amazed/surprised at seeing this. I lost sight of it behind the trees and then I ran behind them and looked around in the sky it was gone. About 30 seconds or about 1 minute long, not longer. I saw it in the binoculars and it was bright as or brighter than Jupiter. We have corrected the time above. PD
