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.

Daytime sighting with clear skies. Object looked to be stationary in the skies over Norwalk, ca for the duration of the approximately 30 I was able to keep in view while riding in the back seat of friends car traveling on Hwy 91 east. Object appeared to be metallic and reflected the sun strongly at the end of sighting due to angle of sight. It looked to be cigar shape but not completely uniform. I got a good enough view for a long enough time to realize it was not a plane or blimp due to the irregular shape, metallic finish and the fact that it did not seem to move at all while hovering at approximately 500ft-1000ft above the city. The distance from me was just enough for my eyes to not completely be able to focus and understand exactly what I was looking at but to me it's what I know it wasn't that only leaves an anomaly as a explanation. I believe many others closer could and should easily have long duration of views of this object and I'm curious to see if similar reporting are sent in by any one else that witnessed the same object.

My Nephew ask me to come and look and tell him what this was in the sky. I went out and saw a line of six objects in the sky moving from the west to the east. You could see more were coming up from the horizon and this continued for about 20 mins. They were in a straight line and were disappearing as they got higher in the sky. They were orange, had three lights in a triangle shape and a white light in the center. The pictures and video don't look like what we were seeing. ( to far away) Blowing them up didn't help because they were moving.

I have observed a UFO between 2:30 and 3 PM in the sky above Norwalk Ca. Don’t know what it was, but definitely no airplane or other type of known flying machine. It was shiny and had several blinking light intermitterend going on and off, also I noticed another dark shaped object zooming by fast at one moment , when playing slow motion , could not see it with the naked eye.

July 31st, 2020, At about 3:38 pm. I was cleaning my pool in my backyard when one of my children came out to see if the pool was ready (I was already out there for about 30 minutes) the time was about 3:38pm when something caught my attention in the sky above us. There was this white sphere the was just hovering there at the high noon, in the sky. I first got my cellphone to take pictures then record video. But after a few minutes I needed something better to get a closer look at the object. I told my child to get my high zoom digital camera and then I started afterwards to take pictures and videos. There was one main white sphere/egg object, multiple small shiny objects moving or shooting around the sky randomly, another white sphere like object but small and one white/greenish sphere. The main object would stay in one spot for a few minutes then would move at a creeping pace then stop again. It did that for the rest of the sighting. At one time there was a shiny small object going down next to the main obj! ect then make a 90 degree turn upward. After that it made another slight turn then disappeared. I was recording at that point and the camera went out of focus. It kept moving west from the east towards to horizon (sunset area). At about 6:20pm before I went inside the house the main object disappeared at about 30 degrees from the horizon to the west. All of that happened in that time frame. My whole family was witness to the event.

Thought maybe it was a helicopter or airplane that seemed to be coming in my direction, but then it just kind of stopped and faded away.

9 orange lights in the sky heading NE in 2 groupings; 4 in the first, followed by 5. They first appeared travelling fairly low, horizontal to the ground. After two or three minutes the angle of flight grew steeper until they were heading almost straight up. Upon reaching a certain altitude they could no longer be seen. Within the 2 groupings smaller groups of twos and threes apparently synchronized their movements.
