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 got my cellphone and videoed for two minutes at 8x magnification. But it was out there for several hours. A friend on FB said she saw it, too. Was not traveling in a straight line like the space station. It was jumping back and forth, up and down. It was a bright orb with something in the center. It was not a spotlight. One small plane flew past, but I don't know if they saw it. Your site says my video is too big to upload. I posted it on FB. It won't upload my photo.Just wondering what it might be.

We were on our back deck. clear skies. What looked like a group of 7 lights in a triangular shape appeared from the west heading east. It lingered for at least 5-6 mins. I tried to take a video but it was too dark and grainy. The lights got bright one at a time through the triangle....then, it just vanished. No clouds were present to shroud it. We saw something similar to this in 2020. It definitely did not look like starlink - which - all the videos I have viewed before filing this report - were all in a straight line....this was completely different. Would just like to know if, in fact, this was reported by anyone else in the area of Seattle or just southeast of Seattle where we are in Renton , WA. Thank you.

At approximately 10:30pm, I took my dogs outside to let them pee, in the yard. As I stood holding their leashes, I was looking up at the sky. To the south, I noticed a faint reddish star. I cannot explain why I took notice at first, but I can best express my thoughts in the moment as if the star was “out of place”. I watched this “star” for a few seconds, and it then rapidly, erratically shifted its position in the sky, from its original position to other positions in the same vicinity of the sky, returning briefly back to its original position, during these rapid movements, and coming to rest again in the original position after ~5 seconds of rapid, erratic movement. The “star” sat in the original position that I first took notice of it in for another moment, longer than the movement had lasted for. The star then moved from the original position again, in the same manner it had done previously - rapidly, erratically, seemingly randomly, and back to the orig! inal position again. This cycle repeated for less than 5 minutes. My dogs did not react to these events. I cannot explain any reason as to why I decided to take the dogs back inside and not continue my examination of this “star”. In the moment, I registered that I was viewing something strange, but was not alarmed by it.
