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.

I wake up and see usually one very bright horizontal object, containing 5-6 white lights, moving extremely slowly from east to west high in the sky. I watch until it disappears over my building, continuing on it's westward path, I guess. The sighting times range from approximately 4:55 am to 6am on most days What am I seeing ?

At approximately 12:15 am I saw what looked like a bright orange comet entering our atmosphere in the night sky . It quickly exploded causing the air around it to move in erratic circular patterns . It turned into a white orb that floated out over the ocean . I filmed it until I couldn’t see it anymore .

I was sitting at a traffic light and noticed a seagull in the sky. Then much higher up in the sky I saw a group of small golden lights. At first I thought they were a flock of birds. But then noticed the formation and pattern was more of a spiral, and the reflection of the gold color was so bright and shiny they couldn't be birds. They disappeared then reappeared a short distance away. Then disappeared again. This was in full daylight and they were swirling around for about a minute.

About 634. I was walking out to my car in the parking lot area of community medical center in Ventura when I saw the moon which was a beautiful crescent. I marveled at how clear it was, and I saw the two planets above the moon, which looked like Jupiter and Venus according to what I found out later online and off to the left, I noticed a large contrail or trail of some kind, heading steeply down, edit angle toward the moon and then below Every 20 or 30 seconds I saw a red light at the tip of this contrail; nothing else was evident beyond the contrail, which just kept moving steeply down past the moon, and then disappeared into the horizon, which would be in the location of the Pacific Ocean. I have a photo of this that I would be happy to share with your investigators however, I do not want to relinquish rights to this photo so if there’s another way, I can send this so you can look at it I would be happy to do so.

Looked directly overhead approx. 6:50 p.m. and saw what I assumed to be an aircraft, but it appeared to glow orange like a rocket exaust and remain motionless; my wife agreed that it was stationary. After observing for 10-15 seconds I ran into the house to fetch my camera with zoom lens. When I came back out the object was now definitely moving South into the Orion consellation and I managed to get one shot off on autofocus setting, but before I could re-adjust for a sharper image the object faded as if a booster burned out. Checked launch schedule from Vandenberg SFB but next Space X launch not scheduled until today or tomorrow; in addition, I have seen many launches from Vandenberg and they are always about 30 degrees from the Western horizon. ISS was over New York that night and the color seemed wrong as well for ISS. Apologies for not getting a sharper photo. Thank you.

My boyfriend and I were looking up at the stars while out on the balcony, when we see this object appear from behind a tall building. It was similar to the shape of a ladder that was all lit up. Then one by one in no particular order the squares in the ladder started to dim away until the last one was out, then a sprinkle of twinkling white and green lights and then it's gone.
