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 stargazing at camp watching the meteor shower when a bright white light appeared in the sky above me. The light expanded and got brighter rapidly til it looked like it exploded with a flash of light that illuminated the entire sky. Shortly after a triangular shaped craft with 5 white lights, 1 centered on the front with 2 on each side equally spaced appeared and I observed it flying across the sky for approximately 5 minutes from East to west towards the coast. There was no sound from either the flash of light nor the craft.

I was looking out to see what planets I could see when I saw this red and green light moving very fast across the sky, then stop and go back the other way, then it stopped again and went up and down, darting around, not like a helicopter as it moved so quickly and oddly, then it stopped and just went straight down and I couldn't see it as it went behind a house and it didn't come back up?? Then a blinking red light came flying across the sky, which could have been a plane. Just went straight across, so not suspicious

We were watching the fireworks display put on by the casino here when I noticed a small green light above and to the right of the fireworks. It was just sitting there stationary all during the display. When they were over about 10:20 PM, I kept watching it and it turned red and slowly began to move around, first left and then right and slowly started to move right (Northerly) when all of a sudden it zipped away super fast and kinda went by us, but high up in the air and out of sight. I have a feeling it might have been a drone, as I have not been around them, but I didn't think they went up that high. Anyway, I thought I would report it and see if anyone else saw it and if you could confirm that it was a drone. It was very weird. Thank you.

One by one the objects came and went right above us. Some going in diagonal directions. There would be a few that would flash a brighter light then go back to its normal brightness and fly along in the sky. Some would travel fast and some slower than others. Every minutes or so another would come. It lasted about 15 minutes. There was this one particular one, it was bright and a shape of a circle, when it came closer to us it flashed its lights real bright then left. It was moving in a wavy motion as well. Zig zag like. I do have video proof of this object I am talking about.

We were sitting on the balcony, star gazing, because we had heard that there was going to be a meteor shower....we were only out watching about 20 minutes, when a huge thing with wings flew over us. Actually it glides over us. Never flapped its wings. The wings were so captivating! Large and translucent like....we could see the stars just as clear as before, even with this giant thing flying over. At least two car lengths long! It was not a bird of ANY KIND. We also had lost power almost one hour before this happened in the casino hotel.
