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.

We stepped outside and when we looked to the west we noticed a dull light moving what appeared to be south East. As we continued to watch we noticed every 5-10 seconds an additional moving light would appear. They followed an identical path. We watched for over 20 minutes and you could see 5-10 at any time following the exact same path. The speed stayed consistent with all of them. They may have been drones. We checked the app for flights and it indicated none were above us. Whatever it was is strategic and purposeful. A week or two ago we saw similar lights following the exact same path.

three objects, similar to stars but drifting vertically and horizontally. Both with flashing lights, one red and white and one blue and white, both hovering.

My son came into my bedroom around 9:30 pm, very excited, asking why I hadn't answered his phone call. I told him my phone was charging in the living room. He told me that as he was driving to his grandfather's house, he noticed 3 lights, and at first thought they were military aircraft flying in formation. Then, he noticed something was odd with the lighting and took a closer look. He stopped his truck and got out of the vehicle to observe a large triangular object. He described it as 2-3 football fields big. He said he was scared and his heart was racing. He said it was completely silent as it slowly passed overhead. I talked to his grandfather this evening. His grandfather said when he arrived at his house he was excited and told him the entire story. I asked why he didn't get pics or video, but his reply was that he was too busy calling me, trying to get me to come outside so I could see it. Today, my son tells me he can't believe what he saw and ! seems very reluctant to talk about it.

There were two different objects in the western sky one above the other. It looked like stars during the sunset and after the sun went down more the objects became dull and dark in appearance then the one that was higher vanished after a few moments the other one vanished.
