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.

While outdoors around 5pm, four people (2 adults 2 children) saw multiple (approximately a dozen) points/ orbs of light in the sky over the course of about an hour. The setting had some urban neighborhood lighting but the sky was clear and dark. The lights were of similar size and intensity. They appeared small, though distance was difficult to determine. The observers saw a mix white, red and green lights. The lights did not appear to blink though some twinkling through atmosphere was noticed. Some lights appeared to travel across sky laterally, unlike a meteor. Possibly like a drone. Some lights appeared to hang in the same spot which was hidden in the sky behind a large tree. Observers have previously seen Starlink, ISS, meteor showers and single drones flying and this seemed different. A large solar flare was recently publicized.

I was sitting outside enjoying the stars when I noticed a bright light moving lower but going higher faster than I could blink. My friend and I were amazed when we saw another one just higher in the sky doing the same thing. The way they moved so quickly it looked like they could be one ufo separating into two. There was not a sound coming from the sky. It was blinking red and white lights almost like the flash you see when you get your picture taken.

It looked like a bright star so I got my cannon video recorder and zoomed in on it and noticed it was a pulsing circle shape from white to a couple other colors, but pulsing in the center, and every couple minutes or so it would change into a larger diamond/square shape that also pulsed, then a couple minutes later change back to the pulsing circle shape. I put the video on youtube. I seen it before a few times that past month or so traveling on this path very slowly, but I always thought it was a star and this was the first time I zoomed in on it and realized I don't know what it is. It lasts about an hour or more as it moves slowly north west out of site into the distance. I'll try and get more video when I see it again.

UFO appeared westerly direction from my viewpoint It was about 5-10 miles away and it was reflecting the sunset from the distant horizon. It stayed in a stop position then it vanish in thin air as if it had a cloaking device.

We drove almost directly under it and it was just sitting completely still. We continued driving until we could stop but couldn't locate it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
