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.

Was leaving for work at 5:00 AM looked up because I seen the light above my home .I decided to take a picture because it looked odd , it then slowed down but did not stop. It almost seems like it reacted to my flash of my camera. It then proceeded to fly across downtown Sonora it was completely silent . I videoed it until it was out of sight. If you zoom in really close on the video it looks like it's hollow in the center.

I didn't see it while I was taking the video. I was however trying to catch it on video since it is a hot location for sittings...

I randomly film the sky using my cell phone on the super slow motion setting, because it is how I found to have the best success in capturing footage. I did not see the craft as I filmed. Only after I viewed the video did I see what I caught. A black probe like craft with spinning wings comes up from the ground and swoops above as if viewing me.

My Grandson and I saw two bright star looking things in the eastern sky this morning while the sun came up. We watched and they were moving slowly away from each other. In the north and south direction. Then suddenly there was a third bright star that was positioned in between these two other stars. This third one went shooting down towards the earth, looking like a small ball of fire, and then disappeared in the sky.
