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.

Spotted very bright object not moving north of the city. Object pulsated in cycles. Being very bright to very dim.I did not look away the whole time. Object began to move very slowly. Almost imprecivably. Object was moving east and seemed to be below the cirrus clouds. The wind was very calm on the ground but I could tell there were winds aloft by the direction of cloud dissapation. Object traveled perpendicular to wind direction.

Been seeing these on clear nights. It appears to be the same characteristics. They are stationary for an hour and then move to another location almost instantly. I'm using 22x power binoculars. Full light spectrum emitting from objects. close up reveals a circle or haze surrounding the objects with smaller objects dashing around the main body in random patterns. I did not take photos or video because I already have some from earlier in the month. The photos are from objects that remained stationary over an hour before moving locations. I will attach those as they are the same object that I saw this morning before light. These photos were taken with a Samsung A13 on 50 MP setting. I would guess they were at least 10 to 15 miles away.

We were in our outdoor spa, which we do most nights. The moon was one day from full so the sky was illuminated. There was a large cloud in the west and we both noticed moving orb like lights within the cloud. They were moving at a very fast speed, almost like they were playing or chasing each other. When it looked like they would leave the cloud they would disappear only to reappear within the cloud seconds later. This went on for 5 plus minutes until the cloud dispersed. The cloud disappeared and so did the orbs. We tried to film it with an i-phone but nothing appeared as it was the night sky.

On Sept 3rd 2020, At about 5:10am I was standing on my patio having my first cup of coffee looking at the sky as I do most mornings. The sky was clear with no clouds or smoke. I see what appears to be a satellite traveling from the south to the north. As I track it, from above it, I see what appears to be a star drop towards the satellite. As the ball of light intersects with the satellite, the light suddenly stops and then richochets off to the north north west. The light looks like any other star in the sky but when it dropped it did not have a tail like a normal shooting star it stayed a bright ball of light. I stargaze most mornings and some evenings and am used to seeing satellites, planes, falling stars and other normal sky views.

Was sitting next to an open window when noticed BRIGHT red (2) and pink (2) lights overhead and low, no more than twice the height of our 5 story building and making NO NOISE. The four lights were clustered together and moving slowly Southwesterly. After a few seconds and realizing this was not normal, ran into the Living Room and had wife open balcony door and we stepped outside where SHE then saw the lights as well. I pointed out there was no noise and we watched the lights move out over Lake Havasu and disappear. I commented that if it was a gliding plane we would see a crash as it was not high enough to clear the mountains on the CA side of the lake....no crash and we never saw the lights again. About 15 seconds of viewing, one needed to be either directly under the lights or within 1/4 to 1/2 mile to see the globular source and at a very low altitude. No noise to attract others' attention that may have had doors or windows open as well that 70F night. Three total (so far) reports of lights in the sky that eve with the local police dept.
