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.

After work, I arrived home around 5 PM. Felt extremely tired, watched a movie and fell asleep listening to some ambient music. Sometime after 11 PM, I woke up and felt very much hangry. So, I ordered a food delivery through the iPhone app. Fast forward about 30 minutes, and I got a notification. Which I assumed was the delivery being dropped downstairs. I had left the iPhone charging. When I heard the notification bell ring, I ran downstairs. Assuming that the food delivery had arrived. Except, it had not. I had jumped the gun and now found myself outside holding the door to my building in one hand, wondering if I should stay waiting outside or not. It was a bit cold but I was dressed warmly. Then suddenly, as I stood there trying to make up my mind. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this luminous rotating weird looking thing. Yes, a thing. Pardon me for using that wrecked word. But understand that we do not have a proper word in any language which would make you "get it" instantly. Anyhow, I saw this luminous object go behind the building which is partly facing my apartment building. I thought to myself; "Why is that helicopter making no sound?" I assumed as much because just a couple of blocks away from home sits one of them big hospitals in New Brunswick. So, I assumed that this rotating luminousity was a helicopter. But when it came out the other side of the building, I could see very clearly that it was no helicopter. It was a disk-shaped object. Through the entire duration of this sighthing, I was always left wondering what I was looking at. And it really didn't matter how my brain would go about trying to make sense out of this object. The more I looked, the more baffled and confused I became. For starters, the object was very much ridiculous looking. But most importantly, it made absolutely zero sense whatsoever. The shape wasn't aerodynamic in any way. The luminosity was constantly swirling into a series of waves which would change in intensity as the colors would ripple into one another. There was a specific sequence in the color changing pattern. "The waves" would be first yellow then morph into orange, then into red and then go back to orange and then, into yellow again and so on. In the center, It was a pitch black round disk-like completely black structure. The whole thing was tilted at a 45 degree angle as it moved forward. A dark disc-like object with a surrounding perimeter which was a luminous mass of colorful rotation. An ever-swirling changing coloration. To add more intrigue, the object was slowly positioning itself as it moved forward and upwards, in an elliptical pattern. The trajectory wasn't affected in any shape or form by this repositioning. Last but not least, it didn't make any sound. And if it did it wasn't loud enough to be heard from my vantage point.

I noticed a green light after a firework went off. I thought it was a firework, but then realized it was flying around the sky and not going out. I did my best to film in shock. It zoomed across town and back a few times. It came back twice right over me and turned red. Looked like green lights circling it. I don’t know what I saw. A drown? I really don’t think so. This was out of the ordinary and I’m in shock. I'v got to know if I really saw a ufo

Was driving north on the turnpike when all of a sudden a bright light filled the sky, almost as if a flash of lightning expect it was sustained for at least 5 second, pulsating. Then after a short break the same thing happened again, but brighter. No storms where in the area, so it wasn’t lightning. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I was at Rutgers campus going to my class and i just saw a single cigar shaped UFO coming down toward earth but as i stared at it for a long time it just wouldn’t move. Furthermore, it was releasing white gas like planes do in high altitudes but the object was flying straight down and the gas streaks were vertical not horizontal as usual. I ignored. But as i was driving home i saw the same object, plus two more all having white streaks. I don’t know what they were. Possibly contrails, we suspect. PD

On my drive home early from my job as a senior research laboratory technician on I-287 South in New Jersey, I caught a glimpse of a shiny metallic object in the sky. The sky was crystal clear blue with not a single cloud in sight. At first I dismissed it as a plane, but with longer examination I realized it was a slim, nearly-flat silver disk with no vapor trail. It appeared to slowly hover to the South, then in seconds, it swiftly changed direction and zipped off to the East and completely vanished. I noticed other drivers had slowed and were looking and pointing at the same region of the sky where I witnessed the craft.
