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.

Around 7:40pm on Saturday night 9/24/22, I went to close the blinds in my room and witnessed a strange moving light in the sky. Not a plane, as there was a plane in sight too, going a different direction, but this looked very different. This was only one prick of unblinking light moving in a straight across the sky right to left as I looked from my window (Eastbound). The pinpoint of light had a thick v-shaped very bright white light beaming out behind it. I had my dad get up to look at kitchen window then we ran to the backyard to see. There was no sound coming from it. We watched it as it was for a few moments continuing straight and relatively fast on its path, then all of a sudden the light beam seemed to detach from the craft and was left behind hanging in the sky as the prick of light continued on. Within a few moments, the prick of light wasn’t visible at all and as the light beam faded too, it was like it was never there – nowhere to be seen. My dad and I were flabbergasted and agreed that it was very odd, especially the way the light suddenly detached from the craft itself and was left paused in the sky while the craft continued on, only to fade out some moments later along with the visual of the craft itself. Very strange and notable – my dad and I had never seen anything at all like it. Both of us have a familiarity and somewhat casual academic interest in UFOs, and could not identify it as anything UFO or non-UFO that we are familiar with in the sky. Could not obtain any video footage as neither my dad or I have a smartphone.

Two extremely bright and large orbs appeared out of nowhere east of my home. They hovered for approximately 10 to 15 seconds moved further east and disappeared. I live about 5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and I speculate they were possibly over it, but I can't be certain of the distance. The two objects were the biggest and brightest objects I've ever seen in the night sky. I can honestly say they were not flares, planes, celestial bodies or light anomalies. I have been looking at the night sky for over 20 years and I know what satellites look like moving across the night sky. Here's the kicker, this is not the first time I've seen events like this happen. On two other occasion I've seen strange lights in the same general vicinity! Twice they were pulsing, but there was only one object. Last night it was two solid, large and bright objects that just appeared. My wife and I, last summer, witnessed two lime green orbs heading south and made an abrupt turn to! the southwest and accelerated rapidly out of site. I'm no UFO hunter, but these events are not normal. I am very nervous about posting this... I've told no one about it for fear of being considered a crackpot.

Saw in southern sky one circling white cloudy light then joined by 2nd and third circling and criss-crossing each other. First thought might be from someone's Holiday lights but circles were not consistent and the shapes were very ephemeral. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
