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'm outside smoking a cigarette looking up and I have a great wide view all of a sudden from South/East direction heading toward north west direction a dim but if was close would have been bright light also not emitting any flashes, solid I want to say white light comes shooting across the sky but in a way that's not a straight trajectory and at a speed unlike I've seen. Moments later a plane comes from I want to say north but not quite as west as the first object seen and this is way closer to earth now that took about 40 seconds or better to clear my view compared to first object and after literally about 3 or 4 planes cross my view like they were searching the object it comes back from same direction last seen leaving no more than 10 minutes later shooting back direction it came from at about the same speed I could tell it was the same object by the speed and trajectory sort of speak and this is while one of the planes is still passing my view which is at a slow speed compared to the first object. This is not the first time I have seen objects like this so fast in the sky I know it's not a plane and definitely not a shooting star, for it could not hit a 180° and come back same route it passed in in same exact fashion. If I were to put the plane I seen and the object side by side same trajectory the airplane would be so far behind. This is 100% serious of what I just seen. Now by how far it was and the angle I seen it it did not fly over my residence I out my address to explain where I seen it come from so you can understand my point of view. I wish I could give more detail or video or something but I cannot but I assure you what I seen was out of this world sheerly by the excessive speed it shot across the sky. Took the plane about 1 minute to hear and see it pass and which object I seen had no sound didn't hear anything once so ever either time passing!!! I would say the planes were chasing as much as there was no activity before the object and ever since there seems to be a plane flying every so often as if searching. It was not same flight path as object neither it seems either they were way to late or someone picked it up on a radar and tried to set up a conception/ or I should say to cross paths and the plane still couldn't achieve that.

Hovering and illuminating red green and white lights movement very slow. Was looking east at 30 degrees and within 2 hours time it was at 40 degrees Hovering only vanished when sunlight hit it. Appeared to be triangular. Could not get telescope for clear view. Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star, we suspect. PD

40 years of part time sky watching stars space station meteor shower had never seen a UFO. Taking garbage out around 4 am I notice a bright orange light to the low east where Venus has been appearing about 6 am. seems stationary I try and rationalize well is there a utility light in that direction no there isn't. All of the sudden it is fading and in less than 2 minutes it looks like a fading star. I have watched the space station take 6 minutes across the sky and end up trailing off like a star. Guess there is a first time for everything. In going to your sight I see others have seen familiar sights. Silent bright orange no idea how far away it was.
