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.

While letting the dog out I saw what I thought was a falling star. Excited, I watched for more. I found myself watching for about 20 minutes at something so bizarre. Looked like 5 stars. One I watched had 3 reddish lights come on but did not stay on. I watched them move left, right, up, and down. With each move they made, I would see a flash of light. I then watched a plane flying in the direction they were in and watch what looked like a star make a U shape around it. I could see the plane it was much lower in the sky. I told my spouse about it this morning. I don't know what it was that I saw, but one thing is for sure...it was odd.
