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.

Talking on phone to my father; sitting outside. Looking up at night sky. Stars. Airplane lights. Suddenly saw a light that looked like an airplane light, but moved in almost a "jump" to another nearby location. At first thought it was just change of flight direction of an airplane high-up, causing me to perceive it as a jump. But realized that I had not lost sight of the light for even a moment during this supposed "turn" and it did seem to jump. In other words, I didn't see an arc of movement as if the light had been an airplane executing a turn during which its headlights would be visible to me the entire time. The light seemed to jump just a few degrees in the sky. I thought perhaps my old eyes were playing tricks on me, so blinked and focused on the light again. Then noticed that there were several other similar lights around it---maybe a total of 5-7 lights. They were all moving erratically, not in the smooth lines that you associate with aircraft flight. And if they had been aircraft, they were flying dangerously close to each other...especially given the speed with which they were executing those jumpy, erratic movements. They were all moving as a mass of jumpy lights in the general direction of ENE. They soon flew into a part of the sky that I couldn't see because of the tree canopy.

On the morning of July 5, 2018, approximately at 4.12 am I woke up as usual to go use a bathroom. As I sat on my bed, I saw a BRIGHT light coming from the sky lights in my bathroom to by bedroom. My bathroom is in my bedroom. The light went all the way behind a corner in my bedroom and created a rectangle. I was puzzled but I got up and went into the bathroom to look what was going on. As I walked into the bathroom I saw VERY sharp and bright light right above the sky light. I had to shield my eyes from the brightness. I could see only sharp blue/white light covering the whole window. It reminded me movies about aliens where people have to shield their eyes because of the brightness. However, I lost the next 10 minutes. I only remember waking up and sitting back on my bed. Still looking at the bright light. I turned my back to it and went to sleep. This whole time my inner voice was telling me to 'just go to sleep'. I woke up to go to work at 5.20 am and the light was gone. I have no idea why I did not wake my husband up or did not take pictures. I just had this very happy feeling. On July 6th, 2018, at 4.23 am the light was there again, but in distance. It was not covering my window. This time I took pictures. first I thought it was a full moon, however, on July 8, 2018 I took a picture of the moon and found out that it was not full moon.

I was home with my mother and my daughter, everything was fine, until my mother and I went outside to take the dog out and heard something in the woods. I live in a very wooded area but it's right off of a main highway. We both heard something that sounded like 2-3 deer running but in the area that the sound came from has a very large fenced area so I don't see how this is possible.... Afterwards we both just thought that we must had misjudged the position of the sound and laughed it off. Well my front porch has more light then the back so being that we don't smoke in the house and after hearing what we both heard we had gone to the front porch to have a smoke. We both had sat down on the front porch and we love looking at the stars, and we both had seen the same thing... To the left of the tree line there was a very bright 3 sided shape in the sky??? It was bright enough that I had gotten up and turned the front porch light off so we could see it better. A few minutes passed and the object then started to move very slowly, we both had thought that this was just our eyes playing tricks on us, but then it started to get brighter and moved in a way the NO plane I have ever seen moved!!!!. We both continued to watch this object in the sky for over 30 minutes. I actually got my phone out to record the thing and it wasn't there!!!! At this time I'm starting to feel stupid or crazy and them my mother grabs my hand and says" look up" I looked up and I can not even began to explain the fear!!!! There were 3 of the same size objects over the front of my house!!!! Now they were not close enough to us that I felt like we were under attack but they were still there, and the original object was still not in sight. At this point I'm getting ready to put my mother and my daughter in the car and go anywhere but here!!!!! My mother stopped me from going in the house and points to the spot were the first object had appeared, and there it was!!!! Now there are 4 objects in the sky and I can believe what I'm seeing, we both watched the sky for over 2-3 hours and the objects got brighter and moved and then would just disappear, but the first object was the only one that moved in such a way that I still can't believe!!!! I have watched the x files loved the show, but this is the craziest thing I have ever seen!!!! I went outside tonight just to look and there is nothing in the sky were I had seen the first object and it just doesn't make sense!!!! I don't what to sound crazy but damn!!!!! I hope that someone else out there has seen this, too.

We saw a bright red light above the tree line. It appeared too large to be a plane and it was not blinking. I apologize for the vagueness and realize it could be a million different man-made things.

Light, comparable to a commercial jets headlights when they are flying towards you to the northwest of my location, 10-15 degrees above the horizon. Stood still for about 1 minute, then began heading right, stopped, went up and did a circle vertical to the ground. Went right about 15 degrees, instantly went back to the left and disappeared, speed was about twice as fast as you would see a jet flying over at high altitude, kept same light brightness, looked at it through a rifle scope and could only see a light, not sure about distance but I was in an 80 acre field in the rural country and seemed to be very far off.
