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.

We were driving home we turned on to Benet from 76 right above the hills on the camp pendelton line we saw a line of bright lights lower then aircraft flow. as soon as we looked up to it we could hold our gaze to it for maybe 2 minutes - then it vanished. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Two very bright "star" looking objects side by side, just above the hills. I thought they were stars but they kept moving slightly, especially the one on the right. Went back outside to look again, about 15 minutes later, they were gone. They were very white and bright, as it was night. Jupiter and Venus

Dark blue chevron shape object making quick side to side, up and down movements, then falling straight down into a cloud. Darting up, darting down, darting to the left, darting to the right then darting down with great speed into a cloud.

While sitting on the balcony at night looking west towards the ocean, we observed an assumed triangle shaped craft (based on the pattern of the 5 amber orange orb lights) traveling south along the coastline through the clouds. The craft made no sound and had no other lights besides those mentioned. As it traveled through the fog, it almost appeared as though it were cloaking. It’s speed was faster than a helicopter or commuter jet but not exponentially fast. The movement was steady and direct with no erratic behavior. The object(s) were also witnessed by my niece.

I was on my balcony looking at the ocean and saw a cone shaped thing with a weird flight pattern flying. It was just too straight. Thought I was seeing a plane wrong, but the more I watched it was cone shaped and the green light that it was emitting was like a beam and it wasn’t a star. I finally said out loud (but didn’t yell) “hi, can you hear me?” And the green light went out and I never saw it again. I recently saw a coastal news article with a lady’s picture from 2014 and it looked exactly like one of those cone shaped things in her picture over the pier. That’s how I found this site.
