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 saw red lights flashing high in the sky. At first it looked like three round lights close to each other but as I got closer it looked more rectangular with two lights on each end. I have three videos. I didn’t notice another moving object until I watched the videos. There was a small white object moving rapidly around the red lights in different directions.

It was a clear, very cold night. At first we thought it was a very fast moving airplane, until we watched it move in fast sporadic directions. The craft was silent, round/oval, appeared to somewhat change shapes, and colors. Red, yellow, orange, blue lights glowing in and out. We did not notice the other two craft zoom in and around the first craft until we played back the video. Yes, we caught this on a video camera on my iPhone. The video is 1:15 min in duration. After returning inside the camper, my phone and another persons phone nearby, were acting strange; screen jumping, not connecting. I was trying to find this site, phone wouldn’t connect. I then decided to call 911, which I called 2-3 times before it finally connected. I’d like to send in our video for you to look at.

After about ten minutes the "star" was no longer in sight. I ran to the corner store and what I saw shocked me. as I turned the corner of the house to hop into my vehicle I saw it clear as day. it was a craft hovering in the night sky. I've seen drones and you can usually hear a faint buzz and programmed blinking. but this was enormous and it was a saucer hovering low. I heard gun shots off in the distance. as I sat in my vehicle petrified by the spinning hovering object it slowly cruised across the night sky. there was bright rectangular lights on the dome shaped top. And an array of dim colored lights on the rotating base. the lights on the dome served as windows. it was low and from where I sat it seemed huge. I could even make out the color of the craft, blue steel. i would estimate it was fifty yards wide, and when it trailed across the sky it made no sound. the 20-30 minute ordeal left me awestruck. and it was just in plain sight clear as day. im probably not the most reputable source since I suffer from mental illness. but the fact that my mother saw the first UFO had me believing that something was happening in the night sky. im thirty years old and in a recovery stage and take medication, receive therapy, and have not had hallucinations in about a decade. this was absolutely real and it was terrifying. I didn't tell her what I had seen the second time. she would have dismissed it immediately. and without a shadow of a doubt i believed my eyes. not to mention that the prior week I had seen two pulsing bright lights in the woods that seemed to be intelligent. and just like this incident they vanished leaving me questioning what I had saw.

A steady, orange light, brighter and slightly larger than typical for a plane moved north across the eastern sky. Ten seconds after observing it, it became smaller and dimmer and flickered off and on before disappearing. Atmospheric conditions were very clear. We do not know how long it may have been observable before we noticed it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
