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.

An unidentified tube shape going East to West was seen slowly crossing the horizon, the object didn’t look solid, instead looked like stretched out light. As the object started to get farther away and harder to see we saw lots of smaller lights start to flash on and off in the direction of the original shape but much closer. These secondary lights didn’t last long yet it was easy to identify the lights were either in formation or outlining one larger object. -Did not get video or photo of first object, only started to record when other lights appeared closer

I was out walking at night and I was on a semi busy street in the neighborhood, there were a few people by their car at an apartment across the street. Suddenly, either something caught my eye or I had the urge to look up, and about 12 (from what I counted) round lights were hovering above, heading from south to north/north west, going decently slow but fast enough to fly into the cloud line with a minute or so to where they were not visible. It was light overcast and they were hovering just within or above the clouds, to where you could clearly see the lights but through a light haze. I remember there were a few purple, green, and I believe the rest were yellow/white?? I took a photo and the front leading lights appear to be two purple lights. I was the only person who saw and almost yelled out to the people across the street but I felt like it was for me to see if no one else saw it on their own, and I was just in awe staring at them feeling lucky to see s! uch an anomaly.

Turned off the lights outside to look at the stars and my boyfriend and I saw a strange boomerang shaped craft with what can only be described as a triangle that was barely reflecting from the moon. It was absolutely silent coming from the SW and it had no lights. The whole thing was cloaked in what looked like a white hue where it was bending light. At first I thought it was a fast moving cloud but I quickly realized it was something else. It wasn't an aircraft I've ever seen and with no lights and no sound we were completely stumped. It went in a straight movement but then it came back into our sight part and it did an interesting pattern like a falling leaf doing a loop d loop

1/7/2020 @5:51am while leaving for work, I noticed in the sky moving southward i saw a trail of bright lights moving together. There wasn't any sound and after a minute, the lights disappeared at the same time. I posted a question of facebook whether anyone else had seen these lights. So far no explanation from anyone.

On Friday, December 31, 2020 ((sic. January 1st, 2021)) just after midnight at 12:03 AM we were outside on a neighbors patio celebrating New Years Eve. We were admiring how bright the moon was that evening. After looking up for a minute or so I noticed a bright Blue Orb moving rapidly in different directions around the moon and pulled out my iPhone since it was so strange and there was no visible light coming from the ground to the Orb. My wife also pulled out her iPhone to record at different times. The ORB moved very quickly in the sky and was visible (as it appeared close to the Moon) both with and without cloud cover which was moving rapidly across the Moon. We have recording on 2 iPhones of this weird event. On my wife’s recording the size of the Blue Orb appears smaller and then larger. The Blue Orb appeared, disappeared and re-appeared on several occasions and moved very rapidly. We sent our video to several folks who noticed the same things we did. I’ve never reported any UFO sightings in the past and believe this was not a natural phenomenon or some type of laser pointing / sourced event. One of the individuals we sent this to indicated they watched an NBC report from the same day in Hawaii about Blue Orgs. When we heard this we decided to file a report. We have these videos. We live in the Hill Country of Texas and this event was witnessed by 6 to 8 people.

What I witnessed was a very low flying formation of large circular lights in a straight horizontal line, each equidistant from each other. I think there were 6 lights. Much larger and brighter than an airplanes standard running lights. The craft or objects probably no more than 300 feet above the ground. I think 2 of the lights were red the rest were white. One of the red lights was blinking. It went right over my apartment. Flying very low. I saw it from my room looking out the window. I am very interested if anyone else saw this. I could hear it moving through the air but didn't sound like a jet engine or propeller. Something different. Very peculiar. Flying low and relatively silent. I've seen lots of airplanes in the night sky and this was something very different. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
