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.

My family and I saw 6 fire glowing objects traveling NE about 50 mph, about 600 feet in the air all traveling the same path. It’s hard to say the shape because of how bright they were, but I would say cylinder. There was no noise and they traveled at the same speed. It was around 8:50 pm and the sky was mostly clear with some clouds.

White lights in a triangular pattern, it moved slowly but in sync. When I pointed to it to alert my son I could no longer see it. It didn’t fly off that I could tell, it was as if I had lost track of it. It just vanished. I know my son saw it too because he mentioned it looked like a V. It did appear hazy between the lights like it was cloaked. I don’t believe there was any sound involved at all. It was a clear night sky, I could see the stars well.

This is the second time I have seen it in the last two years. My dogs always wake me up around 4 a.m. to go out. Both sighting have been the same. They are circular lights that have multiple colors. The object appears to barely move and I am unsure of the distance. Object was north of Newburgh but I am not sure how far. Just like the last time, I was observing it an it did not fly away it just disappeared. They were airplanes in the sky, they had to have seen it.

Each aircraft entered the sky and exited the sky in the same location within 10 minutes of each other. After each sighting, we witnessed heavy air traffic in the vicinity of the exiting location by presumably both human and indentifiable aircraft. The presence was not threatening, at anything it was welcoming and I even shouted for the aircraft to take me with it. After witnessing the second aircraft we sat on a nearby swing set to hopefully have 1 more sighting. Approximately 15 minutes after the 2nd sighting had concluded we witnessed what appeared to be an aircraft that was stationary and astetically identical to a star begin moving from the northwest to the southeast and disappear into the night sky. The third aircraft was visible for 1 minute before fading out.
