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.

My son says Mom, what’s that and I look up to see about 7 round white orb looking objects traveling in a straight line formation but, as they approach the big dipper "handle", they changed formation into almost a V-shape, and they disappeared. No noise, no wings, no smoke. I tried to get my phone one but, they were gone. It would be easier to draw a picture of what I saw to explain it better. I tried to check satellite websites for any launches (I've seen the satellites in the sky when they launch, and it was nothing like that). I tried to check for any possible military training because we live next to a small coast guard base and 3hrs away from Joint Base Lewis McCord military base but, I couldn't find anything saying that they had training that night. Also, I've seen/heard a lot of military aircraft fly by, and these were completely silent. If I wasn't looking up, I would have completely missed them. The only noise was from other people on the street saying, “Oh my god, what is that!”. I waited to report this because I assumed an article would come out saying they had satellites, trainings, or something to explain what I saw. Obviously, I'm no expert but, I know what I saw. It's been a week and I'm still checking for more information. I'm sure you have way more resources than I do to confirm any sort of explanation and I would love to learn your conclusion! *It's not letting me upload my video or picture. I can provide this if this gets investigated. Thank you for your time.

The cube that appeared to have landed high in the mountain above IBC Church in port Angeles was immediately followed by huge spotlights scanning the mountainside. I smelled the smoke for about 2-3 minutes after I saw the object and there was lots of activity where it appeared to have landed. Lots of lights and despite the activity it was so quiet it was nerve wracking. I’m not one to believe in UFO sightings but I know what I saw and it wasn’t normal every day occurrence. I hope I’m not the only one who witnessed this.

Not only did we see things flying through the sky for hours above the Sol Duc river, we also had strange phenomena happen at 11:30, 12:30 and 2:12 am involving a bright flood light type light shine on our tent ( remote camping ) without a sound. Every time my husband got the tent window unzipped it went off. I was truly and still am petrified about what happened that night.

Dec.13th at 8:30 PM. I heard a sound which I thought was over our house. It was like a helicopter, but larger than any which checks the power lines or the Coast Guard helicopter. My husband was bothering with the television which wasn't working when I opened the living room door which opens to the outdoors. I said,'Can you hear this?" He wasn't interested. A couple days later, my neighbor and I were talking. He noticed it and said he thought that there were more than one. He had been in his wife's shop at the time. I remember hearing something like propellor strokes, but I thought I heard a grinding sound which was loud. I couldn't see anything, no lights whatsoever, I also couldn't detect which direction, except when it must have been directly over head, because it was so loud. I have another detail attaching to case #119767. I reported that the tree line was perpendicular to the tree line that the UFO followed by our place. I

8:30 PM my husband was trying to catch the recorded evening news for projected weather. It had not recorded so the network kept giving us PBS to watch. It kept quitting and replacing with something else. My husband was in the living room, I was going back and forth from a bedroom with a sewing project and the living room. From the bedroom, I heard what sounded like a helicopter around our place. I stepped outside to try to see something. It was totally dark outside. There were no lights on and I could not get a definitive direction from where the noise was coming. It sounded larger than the helicopters we usually hear if they are searching for an escaped convict or someone. It also didn't fit the description of Bonneville Power searching the power lines. This sounded larger, but no lights on or any way to see it. It stayed around here about 10 minutes. I asked my husband if he heard it while I had the door open from the living room. My husband was busy with the television. He said later that he was concentrating on the television and not on that. He was not paying attention to it. It was loud and he missed it. I saw nothing, but heard something very large.

West door of barn was open. Picking up hay spilled by cows. I heard a low rumble noise. A bright light caught the top of my eyes. I stood up to see what I thought was the moon for a second. I realized it was moving fast 150 feet from me and from south to north just above the tree line. It was opaque and pale with distinct borders putting out bright light.(no aura). It could have been an oval or egg shaped. My eyes followed it. It passed through low wispy light clouds, then behind something black (a tall tree) then through wispy clouds again and off in the distance. It was almost dark outside. 5:15 guestimate. I saw it do a slight ark and then a dive to the earth or water. It was to my horizon at that time because of the change in the land contour and tall trees running perpendicular to the trees closer to my place. 3-5 minutes passed and I heard another low rumble. For a trajectory, I was facing west. My left hand was pointed straight in front of me. It ended where my right hand was 70 degree. I saw it for 3-5 seconds total. The object was silent, but somehow accompanied by a low rumbling noise like thunder. I was not aware of aircraft chasing it. The only electrical effect was that my computer would not respond. It froze up when I tried to get my report written last night. I believe that when it was close to me and after the first rumbling, there may have been a middle rumbling in the distance, then the third rumbling 3-5 minutes after it dove downward.
