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.

i was looking through my telescope at the planet they call venus, but it doesnt look like a planet. It does not flicker like all the other planets and stars. I bumped my telescope a little and i saw an outline of a massive planet beyond venus. It was black and all i could see was the outer edges. This planet was so big i had to move my telescope around to see the whole thing. I am very surprised nobody else has reported this. The planet was at least 10 times the size of the sun and i doubt it it belonged to our solar system. I have been looking for it since but it has been cloudy so i have had zero success. I want to know what is going on with venus. I want to know what that black planet is. I see strange things in the sky on a regular basis. I also have one thatappears on my canera like a plane but it turns and start getting brighter then it backs up and goes out the way it came in. No plane does that. Or helicopter.

On 11/22/2019 at approximately 5:45AM EST, in Holiday, Florida (NW of Tampa, North of St. Petersburg), I was letting the dogs out and looking at the sky to try to see a meteor. I saw one star-like light flying constant in one direction (from SSW to NNE). I thought, “Oh nice, a satellite!!” Then I saw another. Then another. One after another. At first it was just one at a time in the sky, heading in the same direction. I went over to my husband’s truck to kiss him goodbye. Then I looked back up and there were about 10 of them flying in the same direction, in a line (not a perfect line but close). Two of them were flying SO CLOSE. Then MORE started coming. The highest count I got at one time was 17 flying in one line in the sky at the same time. Then 14 all together. Sometimes two were flying together. They all looked like faint stars, not bright like planets. I ran inside to get the binoculars. They still just looked like stars through the binoculars. Around ! 6:00 is when it finally stopped. The last one I saw was heading from east to west. That was the only one I saw flying in that direction. I am a constant sky watcher. I know what planes look like as we have at least 3 airports and MacDill AFB in the Tampa area. I live approximately 1km from the Gulf of Mexico and it appeared to me that these were coming out of the sky over the Gulf. They were appearing out of nowhere from the same spot. Perhaps, the angle they were coming from just made it look like they were appearing out of nowhere. I don’t know. Just trying to make sense of this amazing event I witnessed. The whole event lasted approximately 15-20 minutes.

Gold in color, possibly fireball but very small. i believe it to be a spiritual entity. There aren't any other reporting sites to my knowledge, and surely we should document truth and experiences. it behaved like an orb. shot up and disappeared. it came out of another dimension for sure because i seen it with my very own eyes.

My wife and I were outside watching the neighborhood fireworks all around us when I noticed a reddish orange orb in the east sky. The object was moving from east to west across the sky. As it made it’s way over the Gulf of Mexico, the object appeared to have stopped for about 30 seconds and then disappeared. There was no sound, there were no blinking lights, just a fully illuminated reddish orange orb. As it was the Fourth of July, I’m sure there must be many people who were looking in the sky last night and must have witnessed this orb.
