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.

On this particular sighting, I only caught 1 on camera, it just appears from the black sky and looks like a star, but then it begins to move in zig zag random motions. I have it on video. My cell phone held by my hand. I walk with my two dogs on a daily/nightly basis, I am a fan of looking at the sky and I happened to actually be able to catch this particular sigthing. I have had some in the past and not to this exact description, but this is the only one I have managed to capture on video. (( Two video clips were submitted

Last night, at about 9:30, as I was watching TV, I noticed out my sliding glass door (which faces woods) bright amber lights coming up out of the east. I watched at least 15 to 20 of them come one right after the other. They made ZERO sound and disappeared right before my eyes, as they hit a certain point in the sky. I'm not a believer in UFO's but this freaked me out.

This was years ago, but I have just decided to file a report, along with a photo I had taken. I was a 15-year-old student at South Lakes High School when, on June 7, 2014 at 1:41 PM, I was getting ready to step on the field for soccer practice and noticed an object in the sky. It was a disc-shaped object and largely white and grey. It never moved for as long as I observed it, which was probably about 5 minutes, until I had to attend practice. When I looked back maybe 10 minutes later, it was gone. From the standpoint of the photo, I was standing on the main field, looking through the field goal uprights in the NNE direction towards Langston Hughes Middle School.
