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.

Mid day sunny conditions sitting in living room a bright object caught my eye moving north to south. Didn’t think much then observed object suddenly move south to north. Went out to porch and got video. Object videoed seemed to be a great distance away I videoed for less than a minute. I have a little trouble with eyesight after cataract and retina surgery. When I reviewed the video and zoomed in the object does not appear domestic. With more sophisticated video analysis one might see it more clearly.

Shiny silver large disk in sky near cedar crest, hole in the middle with lights. Would hover in 1 place then start turning and spinning, would stop and hover. Was very shiny, hurt our eyes to look at it. Took off into the sky after coming down and going back up.

This is confermation of manitowoc siting. Went out for a smoke noticed 1 red glowing light hovering, then more started to join. Moving north along the lake. Called my wife out to witness also recorded it. Together we seen at least 10 glowing objects moving slower than a airplane, watched until out of view. Was tempted to chase down. That is all. This is not my first ufo in ne wisconsin.

We were sitting in back yard when a white light with red in the middle came out of the south west, heading north east. The light was very high in the sky , it took about 1 min. To pass over. After 15 min. Another passed then 15 min. Another passed over , the same direction . There was no sound. I asked my I phone if there were planes above us and it said there were none. It was very strange!!

Our apartment building is a few blocks from lake michigan and it is very dark in our neighbourhood. we were sitting and playing PS3 when I noticed a tiny ball of light fly from the street above our building, flew about a block then made a u-turn and then shot down and streaked in-between the two apartment buildings. We are on the second floor and the orb appeared to my boyfriend and I as about a basketball in size and extremely bright as it flew past our windows. He says it was medium blue with a white core, and I say it was lime green with a very bright centre. either way, the block only has one light about fifty feet away, and the area around the apartment buildings is VERY unlit, so this thing really lit up the common area in the two seconds it whizzed in a straight line towards lake Michigan at twenty feet above the ground lighting up the area around it, again it was very bright and colourful and it left a "trail" in our eyes that lasted for a few seconds, kind of like seeing a bright flashlight in a black room. This was not a meteorite or anything as I saw it fly to an altitude of maybe 150 feet before it dived and went by the window. shooting stars dont change course nor do they fly straight and level (at 20 feet) above the ground. We both work a lot and were not drinking at the time, we were just playing sky rim when we saw it.
