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.

A line of four spaced out bright red lights. Looked up images of space x and the do not match what we saw. We were driving home from work I look at the sky frequently and saw the lights. I said to my husband look at the sky and he saw and began recording. We got off the highway to get a better view and saw two more. They seems to be moving together then stopped and disappeared.

At first I thought there was a helicopter trying land on my apartment it was so loud, my ears began to ring so I quickly went to look out my window and saw a ring of lights around my apartment. I ran to grab my phone to record what I was experiencing and everything stopped suddenly. Suddenly there are cars driving by and people walking outside. It’s almost as if they were gone while this was happening and when it stopped everything went back to “normal”

I went to smoke a cigarette last night on my backporch and noticed a brighter orange colored star do I thought in the sky. I immediately got my phone out and took a picture. Only when I zoomed in I can see this light make like zigzags in the sky. It then looked like it changed color. My 16 yr old son came home around 1030pm and we started taking videos. We then found like 4 or 5 more all throughout the sky.they looked like flashing lights in the night sky. We then took pics and videos because now they were turning into what looked like spheres and all different shapes. One of the pictures we took actually shows the bottom of the object and it clearly shows a circle bottom and then it like disappears and shoots off the screen. I also took a video of all 3 in 1 video to show it wasn't just a fluke happening. It was actually something in the sky.

I came to a stop sign with my friend after dropping another friend off at their house. As we stopped at the stop sign at 11:00 pm we saw a green Meteorite over a field called “ Stowe field” in shelton ct, it came down from the sky, extremely bright, not even a second later this green meteorite basically de- flames itself if that’s even a word, and we both see this spacecraft just hovering, grey in color with green outlines, almost looked identical to a fighter jet from Star Wars, then me and my friend not even blinking an eye see this spacecraft disappear into thin air and it vanishes, I would say some kind of warp drive system as silly as it sounds.

At 18:25 on Dec 23, 2019, I witnessed three unusually bright orange lights in the South to Southwest sky. They were motionless for about 2 minutes. I went into the house to get my son and when we returned there was only one. It made no sound but suddenly started to move extremely quickly in an almost straight line until it was obscured by the clouds as it went above them and disappeared from sight. I
