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.

Erratically moving in all directions but not really moving? Seemed like it playing, varied blue color and shape. I'm not used to seeing ufo's when I open the window in the master bath to let the cool air in at night. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

3 light on the bottom. Triangle shape. Figured if it were ours it would be a little more sneaky or fast.

Having a cigarette at 440am on my upper balcony facing mountain. Full moon to my back and I saw what I commonly see is our local life flight. Well this looked exactly the same. Was many miles 20 I'm guessing. Although the light moved slowly and was dipping up n down. It was close enough for me to realize that it was silent. It became stationary over Laughlin high school. Moved sideways still facing forward. I took my million candle flashlight and pointed directly at it with my strobe effect. It sat still momentarily than turned east towards the casinos. I could see 5 vertical multi colored lights as it picked up speed. I lost sight behind my complex. That's the whole thing.

Definitely not airplanes. Moved northwest of Laughlin, NV. We were pulling out into the Needles Nighway from Desert Marina Road turning right heading to the Tropicanna when we saw these lights/or glowing orange balls. I didn't get a picture of it but is was very strange. I looked to see if there was any mention of it in paper that would explain what the lights were but I could not find anything. Certainly more people would have seen the lights. Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.
