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 neighbor and I were watching the meteor shower and we saw a large black triangle with 2 orange lights move across the sky. Was not as high as airplanes, was significantly bigger. So silent, it almost seemed as though it absorbed any sound around it. Moved in such a smooth way, different than anything I have ever seen. I could not look away, I was so mesmerized.

That morning I was on my way home from work when I noticed a long string of lights hovering over my neighborhood. I lost sight of the lights and thought nothing of it until I parked my car and looked back up in the sky and noticed that the lights were still there, just at a different angle. I walked up the ramp of my deck and just watched thinking I was probably just seeing the starlink satellites when I noticed that the lights were the shape of squares. Still being dark out, it looked like on the left was what I can only describe as a rounder part of whatever I was looking at as it looked like the lights warped just a little bit before continuing down. It creeper me out quite a bit as these lights seemed to get closer and closer and the lights gained more definition and I could see shadows moving inside the lights themselves as the lights continued moving south. I eneded up calling my wife outside but she was still waking up and didn't give it much thought. I eneded up taking a photo of it just to be sure I wasn't making it up. Unfortunately it's not that great of a photo. But after a couple of minutes it picked up speed and I lost sight of it. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

We were driving and noticed a few bright lights 3 all of a sudden a lot more appeared and they would disappear. They moved and together created lines, half a circle, and different lines. They would be high up and then disappear and then appear somewhere else!!! Never seen this ever!!!

Orange glowing balls all flying about the same hieght above ground (15-20deg above horizon when viewed from 10 freeway) spaced out over a good few miles possibly 20+mi. The orange balls would move gently swaying close to each other, fade out/fade in, come together in pairs and fly high. The lights have been appearing every night since aug 3 2021- aug 5 around 22:00-2300. Some nights there are 4 lights other nights I've seen 2 just lights flying around together. The night of august 4 I Tried to drive to the lights but the further I drove closer the further they seemed to be (very far). I noticed about 5 other cars pulled over on the road trying to record the lights as well. I possibly thought they might be hot air. Balloons but they dont appear to have the large balloon above that would glow. The light is also very bright orange glow which seem very big considering how far away they were from my viewpoint.

sitting in my backyard watching the stars, suddenly out of the southwest at about 8ooo ft 9 yellow glowing orbs floated over heading northwest. they had no definitive formation they appeared to go very slowly and disappeared out of site, making no noise,no strobe or blinking lights. the interesting thing was this was just 5 minutes before the space x satellites began to appear.
