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.

Was in my work truck heading to my very last stop at Dustin‘s barbecue off of Wickham Road when I saw the object seemingly suspended in place, not moving in any apparent direction. Filmed the object for approximately one minute to show its immobility before it seemed to Shoot off directly away from me before disappearing in a small flash of light.

While sitting in my hot tub I was looking in a Southward direction waiting for the SpaceX rocket launch, when I saw what I thought was a shooting star, but then I realized there were more lights around what I thought was the star. The lights were in a chevron shape and were very dim. The object with the lights moved across the sky very quickly. It was out of my view within 3 or 4 seconds. The object appeared to be flat and made no sound as it moved across the sky. My boyfriend also saw it as he was in the hot tub with me.

I’ve watched these lights for the past eight months they move erratically up down sideways. The number of lights divide when attempting to photograph typically the lights turn off and our seen in another location. There was roughly about 12 separate lights. They moved all around the property when I went outside to see them they followed. You could not make out anything other than the lights. I have videos and more photos, but can only upload four

I saw about 5 very faint star -like color and objects flying incredibly fast in the north direction. They were initially traveling in a wedge/V formation but soon scattered positions amongst each other before fading out into the distance. I'm not sure if this information is relevant but about 20 to 30 minutes later I saw what looks like a green fire ball head towards the Atlantic Ocean. It was very bright and very low in the sky.

The oval disk with lights around it suddenly came into our view and hovered in the distant Northern sky above the canal tree line behind our house (50 miles away or more?), and it had orange or red lights around the circumference. Some kind of government space training above Cape Canaveral or St. Patrick’s Air Force base?
