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 two friends saw what we thought were satellites but then noticed they were flying faster and together even spaced and then we saw 2 and then 3 and then there were 7-8-9 and then they started appearing on the left and right and then joining the perfectly spaced and straight line formation We kept counting and eating more appear and join the formation it ended up being from 50-60 orbs when the last one trails off into the eastern horizon. All of us in jaw dropping awe
