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 driving my daughter home at approx 12:15 pm and saw what I thought were pigeons moving erratically in the sky. Upon focusing closer, I could see they were way too far up to be birds. I pulled over to observe- they were flashing and moving in the sky, about 15-20 of them. They did not look like drones. I called my husband who was at our home about three minutes away- he went outside and saw them as well and was confused as to what they might be. I first contacted a local news station who replied to my submission but that was all I heard from them. Then I posted to instagram to see if anyone could suggest what they were- people seemed just as confused as me. I posted to the Next Door app to see if anyone else saw it, not one person. I then called the Riverside Sheriff to see if they had info or anyone had reported it and they had no information. I have no explanation for what these are at this point and would be so grateful if you find out they are not UFO’s that you let me know as I am creeped out!!

The object moved very slow at the estimation of height of a helicopter's flight pattern. It was about the size of a large bus, cylindrical in shape, with a black glass type front end and silver metal type body with additional black side panels. There were what appeared to be 2-3 fin type appendages in the rear of it. I didn't pull over or stop my car because of traffic concerns. I literally passed under it as it moved toward the 15 freeway. Didn't appear to look like a blimp of any kind. No lights or noise from it. In the far distance toward the east was a commercial airline, but nothing close to it.

Approximately 10:45pm Pacific standard time as I was facing out my window looking east where I have a view from the hill facing the city below. I witnessed multiple craft hovering and changing form I began to take video and photos of the craft. The craft kept changing direction than disappeared in the night sky

Notice two small circle sphere like objects traveling very close to each other one behind the other very high in the sky look at my attention was they were very close to close planes usually keep a distance and they were not flying in a regular flight pattern they were very shiny it’s a very sunny day I noticed one changed direction and the one behind got very small almost too small where I couldn’t even see it anymore the one that it was following stopped mid air And made some very unorthodox aerodynamic moves that I know are planes can I do

It was around 10:30pm and as I went to look outside my window, I live in the hills and noticed a large round shape ufo craft that was flashing several different colors moving quickly from one side of the dark sky to another. It appears there where more than one flying object in the sky much smaller and where not as bright as the main craft I took video as proof

On the night of April 16, 2021, at approximately 9:48pm, I was in my backyard waiting for my German Shepherd to do her business. I was looking at my phone and I noticed she had walked up next to me. As I looked over to her, I saw she was looking up to the sky behind me and she had her head cocked in a manner to say “What’s that?” I turned around and looked in the direction she was looking, which was almost true North, and I saw a very ultra white, very bright round light. Although I can’t say for sure, my initial thoughts were that it was maybe a mile or mile and a half away (using Magnolia Av. to my north as a possible point of reference), traveling slowly in a westerly direction. I quickly brought up my cell phone camera, switching it from photo to video, and hit the record button, as something was strange about this light. My first thought was that it was a drone, however there were no red/green direction lights on it that I could see, and there were no sounds coming from it’s direction that you associate with a drone’s propellers, and the size seemed way too big for a drone that distance away. The object’s direction of flight took it behind a large tree in the parkway behind and next to my house. I was able to watch it continue westward through breaks in the tree’s foliage. I could see the moon to the west, also behind the tree. It was in the waxing crescent phase. The object continued and visually appeared to pass to the left and under the moon, where I lost it behind the heavy tree foliage. I tried to position myself to see if it would appear below the tree’s foliage but I couldn’t see it anymore. I could only guesstimate the distance it traveled as maybe to Main St., approximately a mile and a half west of me, however it may have continued much farther. I posted my video on a local social media site, wondering if anyone else had seen it. One female posted she saw it and thought it was a drone. Another female posted saying she saw it from her windows and jumped out of bed. A third female posted the event was “filmed in (the city of) Murrieta too” (a city 30 miles south). A male posted he also saw it, saying it disappeared fast when he went to take a video. He said he and 2 others reported it to the UFO Reporting Center. As with so many others, I’m on the fence whether to believe in UFO’s or not, but the stories have always fascinated me. I am a 30 year honorably retired sergeant from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.
