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.

Saw just one leave the moon or it appeared to look like it came off the moon then it slowly moved across the sky left of the moon then stayed hovering in sky spinning and you could see it spitting the clouds around from the speed then it would stop spinning and hover and the light flucuated on off on off and then a sevond one appeared for about five mins then it left quickly. After it was vehind our treeline in our apt complex i couldnt see it no more but we watched it for an hour. We saw two planes fly under it by maybe fifty feet

It was 19:00 hours. And the sun was low in the western sky. I was driving South, on Pleasant Hill Road towards 85, when a round, orange glowing object, appeared low on the horizon. The object disappeared, and there was no aircraft, or such visible. I kept looking at the area in the sky, the orange glow appeared three more times, as it moved West. It looked like the reflection of the setting sun, but there was no visible aircraft. I am a 64!year old female, and I have never seen anything like this!

Good afternoon NUFORC, This past Friday evening (08/21/2020)shorty after a pretty good thunderstorm in Duluth, GA--at 8:45PM, my girlfriend and myself were sitting on the front deck reviewing our week. The storm was past us heading NE (more Easterly),there was a rainbow about an hour prior to what we thought was an odd sighting. As we looked from the SE to the NE we saw four red (round/cylindrical)close together--almost as if they were in a frame or structure. But it was not moving, the 2 top red lights would disappear and then return. Okay, someone as a drone or it's reflection off a cloud. We just had a thunderstorm and we could see the clouds moving pretty quick (20-25kn),then we started seeing commercial flying way below it. The ATL airport is south of us--see planes a lot. So we took pictures and video with two different phones (iPhone X & 11). After 18-20 minutes it was gone. Regards,

I am a firefighter, while responding to a call, I glanced over to the full moon and the glow that it had around it. I saw a long cylinder shaped object moving from below the moon's penumbral glow into the glow traveling vertically and along to the right side of the Moon and continued upward out of the moon's glow. It was a huge object.
