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.

This sound woke me up, and I hurried outside and eventually took my socks off in the snow to quickly videotape this. I was on my upstairs deck and barely got this footage.

I saw three bright white unmoving lights in the sky over an open field between Hayden and Rathdrum Idaho at about 5:15 a.m. on October 18th. I initially thought it was aircraft, but the lights were too bright and way too large. They appeared to be completely stationary and hovering. After a few minutes all three lights faded from view. Several other coworkers saw the lights as well and we all took photographs

Took my dogs out to go pee before heading to bed. Looked up, because it was a clear sky to see what stars I could see. Noticed three white lights in a triangle shape pass above me at about 25k feet. It was solid because it blacked out the other stars as it moved. Made no noise. was moving south to north towards Canada. only lasted about 30 sec. I would guess at the Hight it was huge, maybe half a mile in diameter. All three lights got bright then it disappeared. no flash or anything it just melted away

Large, dark, solid Triangle shaped object with NO LIGHTS, almost the same color as the night sky, but Not quite. It was about 300-500 feet over the top of our treetops. I was looking for falling stars, and would NOT have even seen or noticed it at all but that it flew over the trees where I was looking, and it obviously blocked out the sky behind it. There was NO sound—it was eerily quiet, in fact. And it didn’t seem like it was in a big hurry, just steadily going by, and it disappeared from my view when it passed over another bunch of trees on the other side of my house. What struck me the most was how stealthy it was. No lights at all. No sound. Just a solid, dark shape blocking out the sky behind it. I couldn’t help but realize that this object would not be seen at all by most people, even if it was right over their heads—you just very likely would not notice it at all unless you were specifically looking where it was flying. I woke up my husband immediately, and we sat outside for another hour or so, but didn’t see anything else (although we did see several falling stars). After I went back inside I began looking up known stealth-type aircraft from our government for comparative purposes, and what I found online was not remotely close to what I saw, and the videos I saw showed aircraft that made noise. So they weren’t even remotely the same. I don’t know what the aircraft that I saw is, but I would be thrilled to have it as an asset for our country. If we own something like that in our arsenal, we are even more badass than I ever! dreamed! Also of note is that I live a few blocks from I-95. The object would have crossed the highway, it was not moving parallel to it, from East to West.

My daughter and I were leaving the house and looked up at the stars and there was a brilliant white light or globe in the sky moving very fast but erratically; then it would just slow down almost to a stop and just stay stationary. Then it started to move again fast and as it moved forward it began to dim then the light turned red then dimmed more and then disappeared .

Didn't note the exact time, but it was no later than 10:00. I was having a morning coffee on the back porch, when I saw this egg shaped object over Hayden Lake. It was not moving very fast. My first thought was some sort of drone craft but it seemed a little too large for a civilian drone. There was no weird feelings from seeing it, just normal curiosity. It was not spooky at all. I observe aircraft from my backyard on a daily basis. This one was not flying any faster than some of the two propellor planes that fly over. I was able to observe it for about a minute before it climbed into the clouds. It was egg shaped, burnished silver and about the size of a pickup truck. I could not hear any engine noise, and tried to spot wings or port and starboard lights without success. I can hear the engines of the planes for quite a distance and this thing was quiet although it was not very far away nor was it very high, at first. Less than a thousand feet up and perhaps! 4 to 6 blocks away. I am a retired oil refinery operator with ten years Military experience.
