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.

I saw a light with my binoculars but not the naked eye going across the sky, faster than satellites that I see with the naked eye & much slower than a shooting star, no flashing lights, no noise. I saw a total of six or seven, a couple minutes apart, some longer apart, all going towards the south, but at different angles, some more towards southeast. I have looked every night again and didn’t see any until February 12 around 7 o’clock, and I saw the same thing over a period of about 20 minutes, but I only saw three, again with binoculars, only not with a naked eye. No trails, auras, tails. Just white lights the size of a star you would see with naked eye but I was using binoculars. The reason I even spotted them because I was looking for the comet. I often view satellites, but they go much slower than the lights I saw. I would like to know what I am not real clear on the time for both dates, the times are approximate. Thank you.
