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.

Very large falling & blue-white flaming ball falling into earth. So low it looked as if it was going to strike the ground. Huge & fast. Silent, completely silent during & after.

I was outside smoking a cigarette on my back patio. Suddenly I looked up into the sky on a windy clear day. Thats when I noticed a weird hovering or floating black triangle shaped object in the blue sky. At this time I decided to take out my phone and film it, as I was filming it, it slowly floated down under the tree line after a couple of minutes. After that I stopped filming and went inside. About 15 minutes later I came outside to the front of my house getting ready to leave. Thats when I looked up at where I saw the object and there it was again just hovering there again, so I took my phone out again and filmed it. Minutes later it started floating down behind the tree line again. The next day I looked up in the sky again at about 12:30 pm, sure enough there it was again. I don't no what it could be, it's not a bird, it's not a plane or a drone.

I was driving on the freeway in the dark at 11:30 pm and had been thinking about how my dad saw a UFO and realized I believed him and then I was begging to see one in my mind and had done some siri searches on my long hour drive to my boyfriends as well last night about aliens and UFOs. Then a strange flashing object lit up in the left of the sky very far away. It was flashing red and then blue. It was shaped like a circus tent array of lights or sort of like a spider shape. It finally stayed red and started moving closer to the middle of the sky and closer to my car. I was still driving at this time. Then I was directly under it and I passed it. It was gone and I called my parents to tell them. During my phone call with my dad, it appeared again far to the left behind buildings and trees. It moved towards the middle of the sky in front of me about a few thousand years ((sic. yards)) up and then it started going back to the left again and slowly inclining higher into the sky towards the moon. That was when I saw three horizontal blue lights in the middle and a black disc within the array of red lights. I knew it was not a plane because it was going very random directions and it appeared twice and was following me. It was like they heard me ask them to show up and then they showed up for real! I have never seen one in my life until last night. I was on the I-405 south.

Last night I saw this blinking light shoot up from behind this apartment building. It then hovered for a while, then slowly moved upward. I was so focused on the blinking light that I didnt even notice the double white light off to the right. When the blinking light moved toward the double white light, it appeared to split into 2, then moved to the left, past the blinking light. The sighting was at this location- XXXX 17th st Santa Ana, Ca 92705 At 7:47pm 2/23/20

Saw a fast moving object in the sky over Santa Ana, appeared at first as a single object, but broke off into three about 2 minutes later.

Was driving south on the 55 freeway near the 17th street exit, traffic slowed significantly as a large bright orange and white light passed over the freeway. When I returned home I checked online to see if there had been any planned rocket launches by Space X, or any reported sightings, but haven’t found anything, not even on social media.
