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.

Was looking at what I thought was a plane going through the sky. It was still dark outside so I couldn't see the shape, but only the light. The light then changed directions and shot through the sky like a shooting star would do.

While looking at the stars we noticed a single file of lights in the sky. They were spaced evenly, made no sound and moved at a steady pace. We tried to video tape but it would not show we counted 20 lights moving from SW to NE

Riding us 42 east, notice a large object worth red, orange, white lights, heard no noise, later it moved further away, then a white round light flashed by object, was actually freaked out to see something like this, brother had been telling us he's seen for months on different nights.

I went out for my morning cigarette and walk, when I noticed White, pill shaped, silent, wingless aircraft glided from north to south across the horizon in full daylight. It was the only aircraft in the sky. No lights or anything was coming from the craft. It was flying about as high as a helicopter would fly, but it completely and absolutely silent. No erratic movement was noted. I wanted to run back into the house to photograph it, but I didn't want to miss it.

First caught our attention as we driving. 3 to 4 round orange objects, bright glowing, in the sky just above the tree line floating slowly off in the distance. We pull over to see what it was thinking maybe floating lanterns or some other type of glowing device. However they were glowing to bright and began to move off together at the same time in the same direction. Then, more objects appeared afterwards same color and circular and swiftly moved off maybe an additional 3 to 4. Then and additional 2 came out and quickly move off. We tried to follow but could not keep up and the vanished quickly. Duration of the event was short maybe 5 to 10 minutes. We are not sure what we have witnessed have tried our best to logically explain it but have no explanation. Also to note the objects sometimes were a bright white then went to a light orange to to bright orange, no sound was ever emitted.
