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.

Me and a friend were driving on Hillstown Road passing MCC. In the sky there was a crescent shaped object. I turn to my friend and asked her if she saw it too. She did and thought she was seeing things. It was a big, grey crescent shaped object in the sky that was stationary. We were maybe going 20-30 MPH and it didn’t move once. It stayed near the tree line. On the ends of the crescent shaped there were big bright lights. In the middle of it there were also lights, maybe about 3 of them. It couldn’t have been the moon because it was cloudy. She went to turn into MCC so we can record a video and it was gone. Disappeared within 2-3 seconds. There was no noise of a plane above or any noise for that matter.

Me and my boyfriend saw a glowing blue ball of light moving horizontally across the sky for about 15 seconds then briefly disappeared and suddenly re appeared and started dropping straight down until it was out of sight

My fiancé and I were on our porch with his parents. I looked up in the sky and saw I the distance a glowing orange orb moving across the sky silently all of a sudden taking an immediate left turn then disappearing into the distance. 15 minutes later, another orange orb appeared in the sky in the distance silently moving across it and disappearing into the distance. I just saw it again as I’m typing this.

One circular bright and blinking foreign object in the sky. Did not move. Blinked a bright white light, was not constant. Very bright, nothing around it. No sounds that I could here. I watched this thing in the sky for well over 20 minutes. Did not move. Was a bit difficult to capture a clear cut image on phone. I took photos and videos. Had some sort of off white colored aura when looked at through a camera lens. After going back inside I felt very odd. Very low on energy, a bit lightheaded and a bit of vertigo. It stayed in the same spot not too high in the sky for about 2 hours.

Watching the manchester fireworks and a green light was continually flashing and immobile. It stayed still for over a minute then sped towards direction of fireworks. It looked much higher than the fireworks. Then, sped to left and shot back in the opposite direction going higher until couldn’t see it. 5 minutes later it returned to a nearby spot in the sky and moved about in the same manner. Towards the end of the 23 minute show, another craft appeared. It was triangular with a light on each tip..one red, one white, and one blue. This was nowhere near the fireworks and the lights did not flash like an airplane. There are airports nearby but this did not look like a plane. It was high up too. The police had heavy security for the fireworks snd had been using a drone earlier and it was unlit and had a distinct noise. There was no noise coming from either of these objects. My cell phone would not work when it got dark...could not reach server.
