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.

Witnessed a mesmerizing celestial display tonight as unidentified objects adorned the sky. Initially, a singular amber-orange light gracefully danced, casting an ethereal glow. Its transient presence was followed by the emergence of two more enigmatic entities, creating an awe-inspiring cosmic ballet. Amidst this celestial spectacle, a green drone or helicopter traversed the firmament, momentarily converging with one of the luminous amber orbs, creating a momentary illusion of celestial convergence. This captivating cosmic performance unfolded across various sections of the night sky, enchanting the observer for a duration of approximately 5 minutes. In the middle of writing this i was able to get it on video not the best camera but it should help. The time was around 7:25pm till now, 7:48 PM. It's still on.

My brother and I (along with his wife and 3 kids) were on the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach when we both saw 4 red lights in a horizontal line over the Atlantic Ocean. It was pitch black over the water, they were high above the horizon. They appeared to be either very small or very far out. They were all lit up, then went out, one by one in a line. We didn’t see them again. We were the only two who saw it and didn’t realize we were both seeing it at the same time until my brother said something. Unfortunately it happened too quickly to get a photo or video. It all happened within a few seconds.

3 or 4 orange lights that blinked like a beacon. From left to right. One at a time. Maybe the same light that was moving, not sure. But it was a straight line from left to right. Never seen anything like this before. My girlfriend and I could not understand what we were seeing.

Circle light appeared in the sky for approximately 5 minutes. The circle was moving back and forth and up and down in all directions kind of like it was forming a shape. Light was also flashing at times and appeared green in color. I have a partial video of the incident but won't let me upload.

I was stargazing on the balcony, I saw 3 orbs of light travel South in the form of a triangle( barley visible); one orb steering itself closer to another and back to formed shape, I scream at my boyfriend to come outside and see what I see. His eyes weren’t adjusted as he was playing video games, and the 3 lights went off into the distance. About two seconds later, my boyfriend and I saw these 6 orbs of light appear and glide itself over the hotel building.

These two pics were taken from the exact same location (top floor of the parking garage here in MB) 30 seconds apart as we were out looking at Venus and Jupiter in the western skies. These pics were taken of the SSW skies and NOT the western skies, which is were the two unmistakable visible planets were beaming ever so brightly…..The two slanted disks were present in the first image and NOT the second image captured 30 seconds later. Also uploaded is a Google Earth image showing the location where the images was taken from, the top floor of the parking garage looking SSW as indicated by the red arrow.
