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 08/30/2023 at approx. 10:00 pm I noticed aircraft west of my house flying back and fourth from north to south. I was curious why they were doing that and told my wife about it. We went outside on our deck to take a look. The aircraft began to head east and passed by our house. They were flying only a few hundred feet above the ground and following each other. There were three aircraft in all. That is when I saw what I can only describe as a "UFO". I've never seen anything like this before. The lead aircraft was triangular. It had three green lights. One light on top and two below to form a triangle. I could not see the body of this aircraft. It was being followed by what appeared to be military jets. It was a full moon and I could see all the aircraft in the moonlight. The jet that was directly behind the "UFO" was flying dark. (no lights) I could see the silhouette of the darked out jet in the moonlight. It was following closely behind the UFO aircraft. There was a second jet flying with red flashing lights behind the darked out jet. Only the jets appeared to be making noise. They flew east over the horizon at slow speeds. The UFO appeared to be about half the size of the darked out jet that was following it. I've never seen a green triangle object flying before. A couple of minutes later we heard more jets approaching from the northwest. Two more military jets, with lights on, flew over our house and headed in the same direction as the other aircraft. One of the jets was shooting what appeared to be a spotlight at the forest trees. We live in the mountains. (Badger Mountain) We do not see Military aircraft excersizes in our area. People began to comment on the Badger Mountain Community Facebook page as soon as the aircraft left. On other person also mentioned that he saw the green light unidentifed flying object.

the 24 craft were in a formation. coming from a lower altitude ( possibly from the columbia river) and climbing to higher altitude. most likely a dark color with orange torch coming out the back of the craft. There was no noise from the crafts. The most beautiful event I have ever seen !

Looking to the SSW saw an orange pulsing light moving upwards at an angle, then moved straight to the right then disappeared. This is the third time I've seen something like this in this area in the last 4 or 5 years. Roughly above the area of Malaga, WA, across the river.

Me and my friend were hanging out outside of my parents back yard. It was very clear sky's last night. We stood up to check out some stars when we noticed something that wasn't a star it was glowing very bright orange it was moving slowly to the left in the sky, then it went vertical towards space, picked up speed and just cruised out to space very effortlessly. The shape was almost oval but it had other parts attached to it. You could see it clear as day it was some kind of huge space ship. It was incredible. The other strange thing is right after the ship took off military helicopters showed up in the same area not even a minute later. And when we looked towards the mountains, me and my friend noticed the big lit cross that sits on a hill had suddenly turned off. It was all very strange. Me and my friend both witnessed it.

My porch has a good view of southeast. A gold ball of light came up from behind the hills above Malaga, just about directly below Sirius. It was about half again the size of Sirius from my perspective. It floated straight up, then drifted off to the left a bit. It was turning a darker red and fading out and then took off at an angle going up and to the right. Not a minute later another gold ball floats up from the same area and then turns darker and makes a 90 degree angle to the left for about 4-5 seconds, and disappears.
