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.

May 12, 2021, my girlfriend photographed a rainbow with an iPhone 10 in three consecutive photos (1 – 3). The last photograph (3.) captured a white oval shaped object. I have included the photos with their descriptions. Photo Information: 1. First photo is of the rainbow, zoomed in. 2. Second photo is of the rainbow, zoomed out. 3. Third photo is of the rainbow, again zoomed in, but this time however the photo caught an oval shaped object at the top center of the image, which was not seen by the photographer at the time the photo was taken. It was seen only a couple of days later when I examined the photos. 4. This is simply an enlargement of the oval shape with no adjustment to the color or contrast. It is interesting by the fact that it looks as if there is disturbance in the air above and around the object. 5. The contrast is boosted in this image, as well I increased the DPI to reduce the pixelization to smooth it out. When I did this, I was expecting to see simply a white shape getting whiter. What really struck me were the colors that were hidden in the bleached-out whiteness of object in the original state. 6. This photo has the contrast pushed almost to the maximum. I have no idea what this is, and I have never seen this kind of shape appearing in an iPhone 10 image before, assuming it could be a glitch in the picture. Assuming it is not a glitch, but an actual object, if I were to interpret the colors in photos 4, 5 And 6, I would say the first photo captured an object as it is falling, leaving a sort of wake in the air above it. 5 Looks like the bottom part of the object is heated up while the top is cooler. 6 is that concept visually enhanced. If there is further interest in this, I have the original, raw photos with the original metadata which I would be happy to share with you at your request. Thank you. David

Object seen in sky on clear night, circular and reddish colored. Looked like airplane red lights, but had no accompanying blink or white/blue light as you typically see with aircraft and it made no noise. As I watched it moved left to right across the sky, then did a quick swing back to the left, and then out of view to the north.

Bright green ball flying through the sky. Definitely looked like it was close and within the atmosphere. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At around 10:45 PM on Wednesday, April 1, I was laying on my couch in the living room looking outside the front window and saw a very bright light, with a faint blue/green tint surrounding, move rapidly behind my neighbor’s houses across the street. From the angle I was looking out my window, this object could have been miles away, but definitely looked much closer. The roundish object moved horizontally in a fairly straight line from SW to W. I only saw the object for a second or two since the opening between my neighbor’s houses is only 25-30 feet. The object didn’t have any tail behind it as it passed and didn’t make any sound that I could hear. We spoke via telephone with this witness. He sounded to us to be quite serious-minded, and we suspect that he is a very good witness. PD
