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.

Looking at the eastern sky, I spotted 2 flashing anomaly's. One much brighter than the other. The bright one was staying pretty stationary, while the dimmer one was kind of like flying erratically. The dimmer one then shot off and disappeared The brighter one stayed stationary for a little bit longer started to change colors the flat it flashed in the next time it flashed it was easily miles away from her originally saw it jarded around a little bit and disappeared itself I did get a 30 second video I was too awestruck trying to figure out what I was seeing to record the first part

Oshkosh, WI
The 3 bright white circles were positioned dead center in west sky when I first saw through west facing kitchen window around 1015PM CDT on Aug 11, 2023. Constantly solid bright white. 3 circles moved super slowly right toward the north but still remained in western sky. Circles slowly drifting north stopped for a few moments as very stunning bright white swash, wider at top and tapering down at bottom looking almost like a tadpole, flew between top white circle and white circle on the left or north. The 3 circles, seemed interesting but unremarkable, but this swash felt to my eye and sensibility extremely energized. I am 81 years old. I neither believe in nor have I ever seen ghosts or UFOs. I am not attracted to sci fi and have never watched the series Star Wars because it would bore me. I report this only because of the swash which was quite spectacular and gave off an unmistakable energy when I saw it. I would have kept looking at it if had stayed in the field of the three circles but it appeared and left in about three blinks of my eyes. It was very beautiful. Wish I could see it again. If I do I'll let you know.

We witnessed a fast moving orb/UAP. It moved from east to west. It moved incredibly fast heading west but mid flight it shifted its trajectory upward slightly and then continued on the same path. It was either closer (maybe 500 yards) to us and small like an orb or far away from us and large. It emitted a very bright orange light that seemed to turn on while it was moving and it flew out of sight in about 1 second.

As I was taking my dog out, I noticed one very bright light randomly moving above my neighbor’s house yet farther away as it wasn’t directly over their house but in the eastern sky. I watched and knew that it wasn’t a normal airplane or aircraft. So I went inside to grab my phone. I took photos and videos because I needed to put glasses on in order to see more clearly. But when I got my glasses on, and saw what I had caught on pic and video, it could not be explained. When zooming in, 3D details of the craft and its spinning rotation was clear. When I looked up Naval ufo photos or those released by the government. The similarities are significant. I am a masters degrees teacher who lives alone and is over age 55. I am not a ufo enthusiast, but I do believe in the paranormal, supernatural and spirit world.

I was out walking my three dogs, I turned on Greenfield Street, then on to Golden Ave. I was talking to 4 people when I happend to look up as I walked away from them,I then observed two rather close together disks, I thought this looks odd but must be the left and right propeller unit or engine of an older aeroplane and how easy it would be to think this could be a UFO, I thought that’s how that mistake is made, but it still looked strange so I kept on watching it the sky was clear blue and I could see nothing like the body of an Aeroplane connecting the two oval disks, nor could I hear any engine noise there was little wind to impede that sound, there also were no contrails trailing the two objects, I thought then perhaps they are two small planes ,wrong shape really they were close enough for me to see that yet they traveled close together like airshow piolets do performing tricks, then as they flew away from me I could see the two object spread apart, not by alot yet still oviously so ,I did not say anything to the people near by as they were having cocktails and sitting down, I thought about it because I wanted someone to see what I was seeing but I also did not want to stop watching my self ,I guess I was waiting to see if they would do something that would really confirm in my mind that what I was seeing was a UFO sighting like moving super fast or something.
