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.

Was walking to the public bathroom, looked up in the sky because I thought it was the moon. Next thing I see it moving quite fast and two spiral tails coming off of it. Soon after I called my mom and dad out of there RV and they were flabbergasted. Was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

I was fishing just west of the Shiloh ball fields when I noticed a non flashing yellowish white orb that was somewhat erratically flying towards the north horizon at what I'm guessing a moderate rate of speed. As it was heading farther away from my view point and getting close to the constellation of the big dipper which was clearly visible on the horizon. A beam of light about the same color, but not near as bright appeared to shoot up from ground level right next to the orb. The instant that happend both the orb and beam disappeared. Needless to say it was kinda hard to concentrate on fishing after that so I packed up and went home.

This event occurred twice. Standing outside talking on the phone when I noticed two orange/yellow lights, both about the size of jet lights. The lights then seemed to multiply. At that moment there were four lights, all the same size in a vertical line. About six feet apart. As soon as it multiplied about ten seconds went by and it vanished. There was no sound present. The following night, again was outside, I saw two more lights in a different area. same lights I had seen prior, only this time they did not multiply. I then saw the lights again three more times, all around the same area. I did notice that after seeing the first set, there were a few smaller white lights. They could have been helicopters, but there were approximately six or seven of them. They flew back and forth quite a few times and disappeared. Not soon after, maybe two or three minutes, I again saw the same lights. However, this time there was about seven or eight, seemingly to belong to the same ship. There was never any noise or indication it was there other than the lights. I never saw an aircraft, only the lights.

Driving down Lake Front heading east, three bright red spheres appeared in the northeast. They lined up vertically and darted off to the east. They all left a trail that dissipated immediately. Evidence of their presence in the night sky was gone within seconds.

Took my dog out before bed and was watching jet flying east to west when it crossed path of dim white star like object moving south to north. Object caught my attention because it slowed down right before crossing path of jet in sky, then object moved slowly past that point then stopped completely. It turned bright reddish orange and grew approximately 5 times the size in about 3 seconds, then turned back into dim white light and then shot straight up disappearing almost instantly.all this happened around 10pm on a clear night sky.
