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.

Driving my kids to school. Some clouds, but none near the moon. Noticed an almost black area towards the notion left. Moved to the right side over the crater, and then to the middle, Middle left of the top The closer it got to the top, the smaller in height, not width, it became, until it was gone, as if it went around. There was nothing above the moon, no clouds, no aircraft, after it disappeared No lights, just a black mass

It lasted for a short period of time I was about to take a picture of it but it literally disappeared at a blind of an eye Usually If you see a plane or something move from its spot you can easily find it again with no problem but this disappeared in half a second It was weirdly shaped and it was silver Very shiny

Looked to be rotating. Difficult to see craft shape, but likely a disk. 3 then 5 blinking lights. Lights were white then blinked to a bluish color.

At first I guessed that it was a reflection off a plane (2 airports are nearby), but I don’t see how that’s possible because the sun was behind it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Was waiting to pick up my son who was visiting a friend at Marist College near Donnelly Hall when while sitting in the car we noticed two bright orange objects in the sky following each other, while trying to figure out what we were looking at, we noticed another dark oval shape object following behind the first two with another bright orange object following behind the dark one, all travelling slowly in a straight line. Bright orange objects appeared to flicker and dim and just disappear. It was a wide open sky with no obstructions and objects were gone. Drove around the campus quickly to see if we could see anything in the sky and nothing. Sighting lasted for about a minute.

Empirically, this object moved at incredible speeds (vertical and horizontal in particular); object moved across the sky to where fireworks were igniting in sky. Besides the speed, what caught my attention was the object displayed two quick on and off light display. As if it was taking a picture. We have amended the time above, and reposted on July 10, 2015.
