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.

two small lights apart, about the width of a wing span of a commercial airplane - just hovering motionless over Torrance, CA. Its been 45 minutes already. The craft hasn't moved at all - just motionless. Freaky....

Hovering for few seconds and then dashed very fast to heavens in a matter of seconds.

Out for a walk, heading east. I am a bit of a skywatcher and a couple of lights had caught my attention. On the second light, a dark fuzzy object popped out from the darkness. It was about 60 degrees up and I estimate about 1 1/2 miles away. It had no lights. Gray and hazy with no discernable edges. An out-of-focus Brillo pad wrapped in yarn would be one way to describe it. About the size of a 3 bedroom house and traveling around 300 mph. It flew from west to the east in a straight line with some up and down variation. My sighting was brief, but I got a real good look before it scooted off into the night.

2 white smooth orbs going in circles like they were chasing each other. They were flying in an oval manner chasing each other. Looked pretty high up. Certainty higher than most small engine aircraft. Then they both flew east one after the other. I then saw 5 jets scrambled in different directions

Saw it out of my bedroom window. Came up out of horizon, then over my house. Bright white shining obeject with windows. Silent slow moving. It went over my house and had a red light on one end and a green light on the other.

Sitting and watching for satellites after sunset. saw several and turned toward vega and cygnus. immediately saw a tiny flashing light and thru 10x binos were clearly seen to be a bright red and green flashing light. no other part of a craft was seen. estimated to be aircraft in size. a tiny white light accompanied each flashing light. difficult to tell, but seemed to be on no course and made a lazy circle with no darting. ran to get camera and it had moved toward polaris. after fumbling with camera, looked up and item dropped like a rock out of the sky, straight to horizon. could have accelerated, but no way of knowing.
