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 was driving home from work when I had stopped at a red light on the corner of 29th and S. Douglas Blvd near Tinker Air Force Base. Many multiple dark, ball shaped (what I had assumed were balloons)things were slowly floating in a westerly direction. I had seen a small convoy of school buses go by, so I just thought that maybe the school had just released a bunch of balloons for some celebration and didn't think much about it. They looked exactly like what you see when a large amount of helium balloons is released....just floating slowly. I looked down for what couldn't be more than a couple seconds and then back up to check if the street light had changed when they were all gone from sight. There is no feasible explanation for their disappearance. Even if somehow every single "balloon" had popped at the same moment, they would still be falling to the ground. There was absolutely nothing to been seen. They either flew off at a high rate of! speed, or just vanished. This is a fairly busy intersection, and there is no doubt that at least a handful of people seen this event. They were floating what seemed to be about a half block north of 29th St over South Douglas Blvd. They were maybe at a 20 degree angle from my vantage point. A couple of drivers began to honk their horns at the same time, and it didn't appear that there was any reason warranted due to anyone's driving. Hopefully some people will come forward to share their experience too. The date is probably not correct, but it's close. They were there one second and then just popped out of existence... It sounds silly, I know, but I have been around many aircraft, and not a single one I know of could fly off that fast...or be so slow in the air (besides helicopters of course). As I drove onto 29th, I noticed that the wind was blowing north-east...not west. Thank you for hearing my story. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

My husband and I was driving westbound on I-240 saw a white shiny spheric shaped object in the sky hovering and then slowly flying northbound, and it suddenly disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At 9:21pm August 19, 2015, standing at XXXX Orchard Blvd MWC OK 73130, we saw in the distant west sky, a light that was white just as the other stars, but its size was at least three times larger. This large star was moving in direction to the south. While moving south the large star was white in color. The star then changed directions to going in direction of the west. When the star began moving west, the color changed to red, then seconds after, the large star disappeared.

Three lights in the shape of a triangle traveled west to east across the sky. The lights were a redi orange color. Either three craft in a triangle shape or a large craft. Very dark and cell camera wouldn't catch the lights I'm the sky

I'm on the south side of SE 15th, and I was looking north, past the trees on the other side of the road. I have worked on the F-15 airframe but they don't fly out of Tinker AFB, and they don't move that fast. Object moved from west to east. With the nature of flying operations around here, I would have to rule out the heavy aircraft, and with the distance perceived and only seeing one discernable light, I would rule out any standard aircraft, following aircraft lighting regulations.
