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.

As the light approached the 12 o clock position we both realized that it was not anything we had ever seen before. It was like a train of bright lights gliding east and very long, no noise. Was NOT an airplane, jet, helicpoter, fireworks, etc. This was a space ship ! Approx 20 seconds after the sighting, we saw three bright objects - UFOs off to the north following the spaceship in unison. We did not have our phones outside with us and thus no pics

I witnessed a flying object, flying relatively low & slow, with 4 perfectly squared lights marking the corners. The bottom center had a slight orange glow. I could not make out much of the body, but noticed the front too lights were slightly elevated in comparison to the rear. No planes were trackable overhead on any of the apps I have.

I was pulling into my garage of my apartment complex in West Fargo on July 1 at 9:20 pm. I began to back my car into the garage, when out of the corner of my eye, I see something in the sky. I put my vehicle into neutral and pulled the parking brake before exiting to get a closer look at what it was. As soon as I put my eyes on the object I knew it was something I had never seen before. It was a metallic sphere around 3 feet in diameter, the color was dull but I could tell it was solid metal. At first eye contact I was about 50ft from the object and it was hovering 5-10ft above the power lines that run perpendicular with the road. As soon as I consciously thought, "That's a ufo" the object began to move. I ran closer to the power lines and began to pull my cellphone from my pocket to record video. The object moved quickly north east directly into the wind. It moved how i would describe "on a rope" as if it was not affected by the wind which ! is strange for a typical object of that size like a balloon. I would estimate the object went from standstill to moving around 30mph in under 5 seconds. After I finally was able to retrieve my cellphone from my pocket and open the camera to record I estimate the object was 2000ft away from me and at an altitude of 1000ft. The video i recorded you can see the object but its very small and you cant get much from it other than that it confirms I did see an object. After I recorded for around 10 seconds I watched it go directly into a large storm cloud and disappear from sight. I believe its important to add that I believe im a credible observer who is unlikely to misidentify a drone or balloon being that I have lots of experience with drones. It made no sound from what I could tell. Also my father and Uncle were both f-16 pilots in the Air National Guard flying out of Fargo and I have lots of experience identifying aircraft.

I want to report because my friend and I have never seen a flying object like this. We saw an orange orb that looked nothing like a plane. We watched as it almost looked on fire but seemed to travel fairly fast along the night sky. The object was somewhat high in the sky but a recognizable shape and color absolutely. We could not explain what we saw and phone camera quality was not able to capture the phenomena.
