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.

The lights were in clusters of 3 and would spread to singular almost choreographed, they were at least 15. There was one light that seemed dominant in the upper right hand. There is a reflection of my phone and our car radio but it's clearly distinguishable. I was afraid to get out of the car because my mind couldn't wrap itself around what I was seeing before I made the snapchats, which I deleted feeling confused and embarrassed. My boyfriend and I are 19 and do not believe in conspiracies, UFO's do not cross my mind. I cannot I unsee what happened last night. I am leaving my Mom's email and phone number because I was using snapchat and did not have service, but I am available most mornings.

My wife and I were out walking the dog tonight at 6:30 PM, 18:30 hours when we looked to the southwest, a line of lights we’re moving in the sky, perfectly spaced distance between them, and going to the northeast. I have watched the International Space Station travel overhead many times which is approximately 250 miles above in orbit. Theses objects appeared much higher up, the same size as stars, traveling in a straight line, at least eight of them stretched halfway across the horizon and traveled perfectly spaced apart to the northeast. It was stunning to see these objects, they looked like a whole new constellation of perfectly aligned stars, only they were moving fast inline. The objects travel across the horizon for about 10 minuets, continuing northeast until we lost sight of them.

Walking from my car back to my office getting back from lunch, I heard and saw a flock of geese flying behind a couple of trees about 100 feet behind my office building landing near a pond near the trees. It was a vivid blue sky and a bright sunny and very chilly day, and out of the corner of my eye noticed something above the tallest tree moving in the sky. It was seemingly very high up, but looked like a toy top shape, like a wizzer from the 70s. It was silvery-white, and seemed to be slightly glowing, or hazy. The thing shot forward very fast, then seemed to shoot back to where it had been very fast again, it did this three times. After the third time it seemed to get a bit lower, more slowly, then I lost sight of it behind the building next to ours. I did set my lunch down quickly on the parking lot and tried to take several pics with my cellphone, but even though the object was right in the viewfinder, nothing showed up on any of the pics I took.

I was in the passenger seat of my dad's truck, at around 10:30 pm, 06/19/15. I was talking to my dad, and I saw 2 red orange lights above the tree horizon when I turned to look at him. The lights where near his head from my point of view. I was able to watch them for about a minute because I told him to stop a bit to see something. They stayed there for a bit but while I reached for my cellphone they disappeared.
