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 was taking video of the morning harvest moon. upon reviewing the video I discovered 5 objects in the formation of a pentagon in the sky. I went back out after reviewing the video the formation was gone but where it was a huge streaking object was barreling across the entire horizon. I have video of both events.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) This is a watercolor I tried to make as close to what I saw. It was late, and very dark out. Storms to the southeast direction caused the occasional flash, which is why I put yellow in the sky. We were so high, could not see much of the ground. A bit of wispy clouds below. The half circle with lights was bigger than the saucer nearby. Both were very bright!!! First one was difficult to see details, except the lights. 2nd was glowing the orangy/yellow/pink. I saw this scene for maybe a minute or two, my niece was asleep, so I said nothing. I do not know if anyone saw it but I suspect the pilot did because he flipped on the cabin lights and I could no longer see anything outside. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness has submitted a rather detailed illustration, done in watercolor, of the craft she witnessed. Please see the NUFORC homepage posting for April 28, 2017. Also, she has corrected the time and date to 23:45 hrs. (CDT on Tuesday night, April 25, 2017. PD

it was in eastern sky. I watched for 10 minutes or so. Then got my sister up to verify I wasn't nuts. It looked like a star, but it would move up/down/forward/backwards. And not at same time there would be shooting lights come from it at different times. I tried using my phone to record, but to far away.
