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.

My wife stated excitedly ;look a shooting star. I looked and witnessed a light green orb at high altitutude, with no trail, which passed over in an Eastward vector within a second. It came from West of us maybe Manchester or Concord N.H. headed over Berwick headed over Berwick ME at what appeared to be thousands of miles per hour. I see lots of planes fly over my house at low and medium altitude which takes a minute or more. This thing was up there and cookin'.

Ok so,I was sitting on my couch with the door open. Then I heard a strange noise coming from outside, at first I thought it was a plane but no, all of a sudden I saw this beam of light coming down from it. Then it flew off fast.

I observed the object to be just outside of the downtown Rochester city limits. Within seconds of stopping behind the street lamp it reversed direction in the same gliding but swift motion. It covered a couple of miles in 2 seconds. When it appeared again from behind houses and trees it was only only displaying two white lights on the starboard and port side. It continued to head SW and out of sight.

I took my dog out at 10pm to notice a glowing orange light heading my way in the sky! As soon as it passed by my house the glow stopped and all you could see is a disk shaped saucer swaying side to side in the sky until it was out of sight! A plane look as if it was turning around to get a better look at it!! Never seen anything like that in my life!

at 0445 on 3/4/2020 while out in my back yard with my dog , i was looking at the stars when i saw movement, than I started to watch around 40 moving lights that seemed to start from nowhere and move across the sky all in a very straight line , every about 10 there would be one out off to the southern side of the group the whole group was moving in a north eastern direction. All the lights looked to be at sub-orbital or orbital height, my background is in the Air force controlling air craft in the field and now i work for the government.
