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.

A shiny silver sphere was reported following an airplane heading towards Rochester airport. The witness said it looked pretty large, possibly 1/2 the size of the airplane. It also looked as if it was spinning, as the sun was reflecting off of it. Because they were traveling so fast, if the witness had ran to get his phone, trees would have been obstructing the view.

It was close to midnight and it was frigid outside, clear and windy. I live on the shore of Lake Ontario and waves were forming ice walls along the shoreline. I went outside to have a smoke and had been outside facing south away from the lake looking towards the road, I turned to face the lake (north and windward) And my jaw dropped as I saw a very large craft with lights on the the side facing me, can’t really say how many because the lights would go on or off and change color. Colors were red, green, yellow, blue or white and the off and on or off color changing showed no discernible pattern as far as I could tell. There were always 4 to six lit at a time. I stood spellbound as I watched the craft slowly fly west, or hover west and then stop and move backwards approximately 1/2 mile or so, craft appeared to be about a mile offshore with an altitude of 1000 to 1500 feet. It stopped and started moving west and then I thought of my phone and capturing a video thinking this is why there aren’t a lot of videos or photos of these sightings. I grabbed my phone and headed back out while opening the camera app and ran outside looked up and it was still there as I brought the phone up and hitting record but before I could get the record started the craft rapidly moved west then flashed and shrunk to just a dot of light in the sky which I was recording but all the video showed was darkness when replayed. I had only been inside I’d say 8 to 10 seconds max.... again the thought came to me about why there aren’t more videos/photos of these events, guess I know now. To finish I’ll add there was a lack of sound and again the craft was very large, I’d say about the size of 3 aircraft carriers end to end and there were no other craft flying with it.

2 flashing lights seen directly over Lake Ontario about 500ft from shoreline. Started with one bright flashing orange light, too low to be a plane and was completely silent and too high to be a boat. Caught 5 min of footage halfway through another light appeared next to the first one for a bit, then shut off like a light switch. The lights came on/off for over 30min in different formations. I live directly on Lake Ontario and have seen these lights before! A craft foreign to the waters that’s all I know for certain!!!

8 lights appeared in the sky one at a time starting at ~8:50 ET and disappeared one by one starting at ~9:00 ET leaving contrails in a descending and uniform pattern. We have amended the time, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Possible hoax?? PD

I was wondering if anyone besides my husband and myself experienced shaking of their home and a VERY LOUD bang last night in Webster, NY. I'm not sure of the exact time. We were woken by this loud banging sound and bed shaking. I called RG&E to see if a transformer had blown - no it hadn't.
