Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Australian aerial sighting records answer to the Freedom of Information Act 1982. 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.

We were travellers with motorhomes/campervans around outback in Broken Hill, NSW, Australia and we were chatting outside and beside the motorhomes at the night. One observer walked out of the group to the dark area and saw the weird spots appeared in the line in the sky. The observer called them to see the extra-terrestrial activity and wanted to share our experience. There appeared to be a series of objects that moved in a straight line, observed as a line of lights/objects moving up into the sky. All moved upwards at the same time, in vision, it looked like separate objects following each other. They moved upwards and as they went overheard at a certain point, they disappeared. Each light disappeared when it reached that point. Some of them moved sporadically to the left or right then below and up again before they disappeared . It took approximately the minute for them to move from horizon to directly above us when they disappeared one by one. There were many at least 25. We did not count them as we were amazed at the time and did not know what it was and did not think to record or count them until a few seconds later. We have a recording on my phone. No trial was left. This was late at night we could not see the object, only the light on each, which was the size of the head of a small nail head, approximately 1-2 mm in diameter. They all appeared white in colour. No sound was heard by people with normal hearing. There were 10 witnesses saw it. There was a clear night and half-moon beside the lights or objects as it appeared, they were very far away but before the stars and near or not far from the moon. I will post video in USB key.
