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.

At first appearance I thought it might be an airplane pulling a lit banner (appeared to be that heigth) but no noise. Travelled from northwest to southeast and disappeared one light at a time in center of sky like it was entering a cloud but sky perfectly clear. Approaching helicopter from northeast may have triggered disappearance. Object was composed of 10-12 lights closely and evenly spaced. Did not appear to be skylink.

Me and my husband were returning from a walk with our dogs and heading west. I noticed three red balls glowing up in the sky below the clouds. I have lived in this area not far from Hopkins Airport for about 48 years and I noticed these were not like any air craft that I have ever observed. There was a triangle shaped made by what looked like three bright red balls. They did not blink or movie and I thought that was odd so I pointed it out to my husband. As we got closer to our house, my sons pulled up and also seen the red balls in the sky. It had been there for so long I felt I had time to grab my camera and as I headed to the house they yelled to me that it was now moving and changing colors....It headed off to the south west and was gone. It changed from a bright red to a bluish green color. We could hear no sound from it.

I was watching tv when I seen outside my window in the western sky a bright red and white flashing light in the distance. At first I thought it was a star but then I noticed the white light was coming from around the object sort of like a flash. The object stayed stationary for about an hour then disappeared. My girlfriend was also a witness to the agent.
