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.

A triangle of lights, flashing red and green. All lights in the triangle shape would flash red, then green, rather than some flash red then some flash green. I live near an airport so I see the airplanes landing normally, but this seemed different. There was no sound, and the shape/pattern of the lights was like an equidistant triangle, rather than lights on just the wings and tail that i am used to seeing with the commercial airplanes. Normally when something flies that low there is a sound, but in this case I could not hear anything. Perhaps it was bigger and flying higher? However the size was quite large, if it was flying high it must have been big.

I was meeting up with my daughter after she left work, to drop off my 4 year old grandson. We always meet in a secluded side road off the 101 Freeway and Los Berros Road off ramp. There are very few lights in this area so I told my grandson we should get out of the car to look at all the stars since it was so dark out. As we looked up into the sky there was a "string" of lights traveling fast in a NW direction. I quickly tried to count them and there must have been over 20 lights. All in a straight row; evenly spaced going across the sky. I tried to grab a video with my very out-dated phone, but NOTHING should up when I played it back. The straight "string" of lights looked like a row of cars that were traveling on a one lane highway; equally spaced apart; traveling at a high rate of speed. No sound at all. My grandson said, "That's weird" and I agreed. I am a 69 year old woman and I do not drink or take any drugs and I have never seen anything like that!

Last night, at around 10pm, myself and one other member of my family witnessed numerous round objects in the sky that were filled with allumunating colered lights-blue-red-yellow. The lights would twinkle on and off almost like watching a ferris wheel as the objects changed shape and form. The objects were to big to be stars and were amazing to look at with binoculars. There were also displays of whited lights shooting through the clouds and then just disappearing. Possible sighting of "twinkling" stars, we wonder. PD
