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 driving south on Pine Street in Burlington, VT just before coming to the Home Ave. intersection at approximately 6:08pm on Friday 12/11/20 and saw a bright light shoot up very quickly into the sky. I thought it was a flare of some kind first, but then it came to a complete stop in the middle of the sky. I observed it for approx 2min and by the time I could park and look up again it was gone. It may have been a drone with a light on it, but it shot up into the sky at a very high rate of speed.

It was at 11:17pm when my wife and went for a ride and we were traveling south on I89. We seen three really bright lights brighter than the full moon and brightest star in the sky flying in formation. We then noticed that three flying in formation we being followed by many more bright lights to many to count. However the very front light in the formation shot behind our in the north direction and another took its place in front. But then the sky got so bright behind us it look as is the sun popped out. But then that light that disappeared behind was back in front of us and it bright so we pulled over to try and see what it was and it stopped suddenly and meanwhile the formation of lights and its tail of lights were farther in the distance. Both of us looked in aww and we realized the bright light we were looking at was a craft in the sky and was oval in shape and looked like a giant apartment building hovering in the sky and had other bright lights up the si! de that we could see in different spot throughout the side. And as we sat on the side of I89 with our hazard lights blinking it seemed like we had been watching for an hour or longer not one vehicle went by on the N or S lanes we noticed that it still hovering above us but it looked like it was farther than it had been. And all of sudden a bright bright light illuminated the complete bottom side of this craft it shot straight up to the point the bright light on the botton of the craft was a little bigger and brighter than the brightest star in the sky and then moved so fast in the eastern direction it was just flash of light. When it was all finished it was 27 minutes long but it seem like it was two hours. The two of us were physically drained and. I was driving i was so drained that i was falling asleep driving and my wife was asleep five minutes after it disappeared. We see planes all the time and we see different types of helicopter because we live close to the flight path of a runway at Burlington International Airport and helico! pters fly over on their way to the hospital and the both are very noisy. This craft was not making any noise and definitely didn't move like any aircraft i know of. I truly believe we seen ufo's on America's Independence Day

As a former pilot, I tend to think these lights not flares, helicopters, military craft or any aircraft I can think of. The shape resembled that of the Stealth fighter, only much much larger. Thank you for your time and interest.

very bright light, similar to a shooting star, but bigger and under the cloud cover. Shot toward northeast. Disappeared beyond buildings.
