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.

My two nieces Leslie and Diana where walking around the school campus after buying boba beverages. We arrived the scene around 8 PM. I noticed the lights and told them to look. We where perplexed at the speed and colors the where maneuvering. Sometimes they would scatter or form a triangle of some sort. It seemed like they where In sync with each other like a symphony because they wouldn't collide. It was seen towards the direction of the full moon behind the clouds. It started to rain when we left the scene at 10 PM.

There were no lights, there was no trail, no wings, no sound. Just a solid white slender cylinder. It was dark outside and the craft may have been glowing white, or just reflecting the sun from beyond the horizon.

On the night of june 11th my lady and I decided to go stargazing as we usually do. Now while we usually see a few things here and there that we cannot explain, last night there was an unmistakably great number of lights forming triangles in the sky, not only that but there were many smaller singular lights floating around and even seemingly coming out of these triangle shaped objects which were absolutely massive in size. There were also a great number of regular planes, drones, helicopters and what else have you that we could definitely tell were human made, trying to follow and observe these objects. My lady and I both witnessed these objects firing blue beams of light in all different directions, not only that but we saw massive flashes across the entire night sky as if it was sheet lightning as well as hearing loud explosions the likes of which did not sound familiar to fireworks or gunshots at all. In an effort to try to make peaceful contact I took my ! phone out and began using the flash on it to try and communicate with one of the triangles directly above me. It was then I realized I was definitely not hallucinating as the massive triangle would follow the direction of the light I would place either on the ground or facing directly at it. It would absolutely mirror every movement of the light on my phone, so in an even greater attempt at communicating, we decided to close our minds and try to consciously connect with them, even sometimes out loud asking them to sway side to side or even make drastic movement so we knew we were not making a complete fool of ourselves, and to our surprise it actually listened!!! Not just one of these triangles but a few of them actually communicated back If you would call that a form of communication. I also saw a dark disk shaped ufo only a trees length high doing flips and spins through the air as it passed over the night sky directly above me. This was after I asked them to send somethi! ng or someone closer so I could know the truth about this. Thi! s is not the first time I've made direct contact with these craft.

At 5:25 AM Pacific time. I was taking out the trash and I saw something moving across the sky at a high rate of speed and the sky was perfectly clear I saw a big dippers I saw ordinary planes going around in the sky but this one was no plane it was moving so fast it was unbelievable to see a large cluster of white stars shot across the sky from north to East going at a high rate of speed faster than a plane would ever go there was at least 15 to 20 moving across the sky. They were not physically aligned they were all in different shades moving across the sky happened so fast by the time you pointed at them they were already across the sky headed east.
