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.

I was staying at the Hounds Lake Inn. In Aiken SC. The night I saw like 5 or 6 ufo’s ? way up high by the full moon. Night was very clear. I was on a hill top golf course with my French Bulldog I started talking to them. I told my self they were probably satellites my dog did feel uncomfortable and wanted to go back inside. The Strange thing about my story is that the next day I was driving to Hilton Head, SC and I found a photo on my phone. I don’t remember taking. I think they were following me. It freaks me out.

Saw outside my bedroom falling asleep. Saw blinking & moving & knew it wasn’t one of the stars. Started recording, I have 10 mins total of footage, I fell asleep so don’t know how much longer it was there

Sitting on my patio approximately 11PM. Noticed a bright, round light 'hovering' over the trees across the golf course in the back of my house. It got dimmer after 5 minutes... then about a minute later it came back brighter than when I first saw it. Soon after it appeared again, it took off very fast - in an upward, Northwestern direction... then it disappeared!

Saw a small orange light that flashed intermittently, while traveling very fast (much faster than a commercial jet) west to East in the Southern sky, but also moving up and down. Each time it flashed, it was above or below the horizontal axis of its travel. I observed it and immediately called my wife, who saw it but only just before it went out of sight, blocked by the roof of our house.

In the early morning, while still dark, a very bright blue orb-like ball crossed the sky. It was very low and close to our car. It moved very fast, lasted for approximately 3 seconds, and then completely disappeared. I was not a believer before today but am convinced that the object was a space craft of sorts. The second observer is educated on this subject yet still could not believe what he had just witnessed. Definitely a little frightening. Left us feeling very confused and amazed.
