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 came out this morning around 4:20am looked up and saw a bright light shining to the right of our moon, it seemed strange at the time because it was brighter than the actual moon which was only a quarter of a the moon shining this morning. Watched it for 1 hour no movement so I decided to take a photo. When I zoomed in I saw the imagine posted. Thought it would be interesting to share. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Quick moving object traveling horizontal across the sky (could tell it was moving away from my point of view). Then it moved significantly faster and disappeared from sight in an instant. No trail, no discernible number of lights, but object was lit, unable to tell shape of object. Lasted only about two seconds because it vanished.

Dots of light in a line formation slowly moved in a southwest upward motion and each disappeared as it looked to be going upward.

Two round shape light high above the fort Lauderdale sky moving south at a steady speed, if I have to guess I would say 100 miles per hour, maybe of a size of a truck judging by the distance

I was on our patio watching a movie on my laptop, when I noticed a bright white appear over the trees on the other side of the lake. I thought it was just an airliner taking off. Not giving it any more thought I continued to watch the movie. A few minutes later I glanced over to where I saw the light and noticed it was still there. It was bigger and brighter than before. I stopped the video so that I could observe this light. It didn’t move at all. It was hard to make out the shape, but if I had to guess I would say that it was circular. The light was to high and to bright to be a street light and the moon was crescent shaped and pale yellow. I got my cellphone and took a photo of it. About 30 minutes later, it was gone. I was watching it and it just disappeared.

I was walking my dog, when at about 9:20pm, I noticed a bright, pulsating orange light in the sky to the east. It moved slowly,and occasionally the light would dim completely and I could make out a round/oval silhouette. The object then turned to the north and vanished entirely. A few moments later, a second orange light appeared low in the eastern sky. I started video recording with my phone. It was exactly like the first - shining brightly then dimming, moving slowly to the north before disappearing. A few seconds later, a third light appeared. Its appearance and movement was exactly like the two previous. I also recorded this one. The three objects did not make the slightest sound. My dog did not react other than get a little antsy, but she has a hyper disposition anyway. As far as I could tell, I was the only witness. However, these lights/objects flew over a golf course on a college campus (Broward College) - so it's very possible that, although it was Sunday night, someone else saw them. I will send the videos I took of the second and third light/objects.
