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.

We were looking for shooting stars at the beach when we saw something that looked like a tiny star falling next to a stagnant star that was a bit bigger & brighter than the UAP. Would’ve thought it was one if it were stagnant too. It wasn’t twinkling, & looked like it had a warmer light color. It kept going down in the horizon, further away from us as it got increasingly harder to follow with our eyes. It didn’t move like a plane, and it was faster too, not crazy fast looking from our angle. It went behind a cloud and didn’t reappear sadly. Was too tiny to catch on our phones.

Craft moved faster and lower than a plane. A few seconds later another object coming from same general direction but my view was obstructed by clouds.

Looking at the sky this morning. To the right of the Orion Constellation. I viewed to very bright star like objects which I had not observed the previous morning. I was intrigued so continued to observe. The objects started to fade from view, but it was not due to any clouds. I am an amateur astronomer, so I know my way around the sky.

I am a 34 year-old doctor of clinical psychology. I was walking my two little dogs. It was after 11pm but before midnight. I saw a light, much bigger than a star, but much smaller than the moon, zooming across the sky. It went east to west, or from north-east to south-west, in a straight line and disappeared into the clouds. The whole evet was south east to my location. It moved so fast that it crossed about 1/3 of the sky in about 1 second. It was so fast that I could not notice details about the form of the light. I was under the impression it was not a perfect circle, but it was really hard to tell. I would also say it stayed the same size as it zoomed across the sky, but again, I could not be 100% sure. The light’s color was white, just like the moon. I continued looking up to the sky for several more minutes but saw nothing else unusual. There were airplanes going by, slow and steady, with much smaller, blinking lights, and looking nothing at all like the other light I saw.

I was by the pool relaxing and had my eyes closed for a few minutes, but I felt the need to open my eyes and look to my top left to the sky. At first I thought I had some dots in my contacts or something affecting my vision from having my eyes closed earlier. But as I blinked it didn't go away. First thought was like are those balloons? And at first the 2 objects were not that far from me so that's why I thought the balloons are raising into the air. But then I knew there were not balloons as they had the same distance from each other and going in the same direction. beautifully parrellel. There was no specific sound, calmness really. The 2 objects kept moving NE but higher to the sky from the initial point I saw them. As soon as I realized this may be something, I started to taking a video and picture with my phone. However, my video stopped recording after some seconds so I tried another video and it only did a few seconds so I just kept trying to take pic! ture and zoom it as much possible to get a better view. It latest a few minutes. I actually called my mom to tell her and she said she was close so I was telling her I will go to her to show her and my dad. However, our connection failed. So I recalled and said I am coming but as soon as I said that I saw the 2 objects slightly move to the left and disappeared instantly. I wanted to share my experience with others because I am certain this was a unique UFO experience.
