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.

February 16 2017 at about 11:30pm EST I was sitting in our living room getting ready to watch television and out our front door an aqua light drew my attention. The light lasted only about two seconds. It was very bright but, hazy/fuzzy on the edges, but that could have been due to clouds. It was oval shaped and from my perspective about an inch big up in the sky (not sure how to explain it), it was almost as big as when you look at the moon. I saw it for only the two seconds and it disappeared, not like an airplane flying and the light was too big for an airplane. I would guess it was only about 2 miles up in the sky and going left to right. It was the south west moving north west at a slight degree upward. It was not like fireworks. It was just a bright aqua light. I jumped from my chair to look closer and it was gone. The light just stopped, it didn't burn out or fly away and get smaller. It was there really bright for about two seconds then j! ust stopped.

The U.F.O. my mother and I saw had lights around it in the shape of a triangle much like the flying v in the mighty ducks lol but we did not see the actual craft just the lights and I can not say how many lights were exactly their I know this is not a good description. And I'm no sky watcher but I have seen my fair share of videos too know this was not normal. At first we thought it was a plane for a second, But then noticed the lights were in a much different shape placement not blinking and one solid LED ish color and it was not moving. It was fairly close and easy to see but was gone so fast because the strange part was how it suddenly and quickly vanished. I cannot tell if it hit hyper speed and took off or simply vanished but poof it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Three lights crossed the sky at a high speed, one after another, flying very low below the clouds from south to north. The first was very distinctly blue and appeared to be circular in shape. It was followed a few seconds after by a green light traveling at a similar high speed and low altitude, it's path curving slightly to follow the first. About 20 seconds after, the first two lights were followed by a third of indistinguishable color, flying at a similar speed but slightly higher altitude. Witnesses include myself and my two roommates, out for a cigarette at around 9:30 pm. I like to keep an eye on the sky, but I've never once seen anything strange like this. Because the third light traveled at a higher altitude, it was a more conventional appearance... But none of us can explain the appearance of the first two lights in particular. It's difficult to draw an immediate conclusion, but the third seemed to be another type of flying object pursuing the first! two lights.

Sighting: Time: Approximately 9:25pm EST Date: November 3rd, 2014 Location: Johnson City, NY, neighborhood of of Oakdale Road and Watson Boulevard. As my son and I were traveling west on Watson Boulevard, away from the Oakdale Mall, I noticed an object with red and white lights, a cube or sort of square shape, hovering near a "power line tower". The lights were static and were not blinking. I slowed down my car to about 15 mph to try to understand what it was. It appeared to be about 500 feet or more above ground. It was large, but not huge. My son was in the front passenger seat, and rolled down his window to get a better view. I kept looking and driving slowly and then looked away so I could stay on the road. My son kept watching it. He said he thought it was the size of about 3 cars. My son also said that it began to move in a north, north east direction. There was no sound whatsoever. I finally turned the car around and pursued the direction we saw it traveling in. We drove up Oakdale Road for about a mile and a half; until we lost sight of the object. Anonymous
