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.

Two objects seen, one was orb like light above another that was moving with a visible tail, the orb had disappeared, and left the other object that had a visible tail. Then the object that was traveling with a visible tail, disappeared, and the orb like light, was left by itself. After a while, all these objects just blinked out of view. Caught video of both just not together. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Was outside at the time of observance. Local hospital is nearby, local life flight helicopter was coming in low to ground at the hospital. Life flight circled back for a second pass for some reason, and when the helicopter passed slowly over us to double back to the landing pad, the lights suddenly appeared. At first, there was just one light and then the others sprang off of it one at a time until there was a total of five individual lights hovering. They were white, like stars. The lights then proceeded to hover independently in multiple directions as they spread out. They were so high in the atmosphere that they resembled the stars and they moved erratically and very fast. They would come together and move away from each other in lightning fast speeds with a pattern of hovering and moving in smaller circles. Another witness and I observed these UFO’s for a duration of five minutes. The helicopter finally landed at the hospital and the lights disappeared when it did. They disappeared just as fast as the appeared, as if out of thin air. The disappearance also happened in unison. They zipped away at the fastest speeds that no aircraft can achieve and was gone. Video evidence was also filmed at this event, if needed.

Traveling east on Rt 36 I saw 3 silver teardrop shaped objects in the sky. Pulled into a parking lot to watch them. There were several other people watching them. After nearly 30 minutes they had moved very little, but then suddenly completely disappeared.

At 7:30pm I was in my back yard and looked up at the stars as I often do. I noticed what I thought was the ISS. So I checked my ISS tracker app. The ISS was over Asia at that time. So I looked up again and saw two more. They were traveling from west to northeast across the night sky. There was a total of 3. They were white in my binoculars. They were moving at a constant speed and all three were equidistant from one another. They did not blink or pulse and had no green or red lights. Why would three satellites travel in formation? This is odd to me.

Green light that came straight down to what looked like the ground. It lit up the sky around it, was definitely not a shooting star. Never seen anything like it.
