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.

Yesterday driving home after leaving my friends home I noticed lights eyes level in the sky coming my way. Once I looked up my heart started to panic. I’ve seen ufo’s before but never as close as they were yesterday. One light after another. They were bright as a Roman candle but stayed in a straight line. It was overwhelming and nervous af. I saw at least thirty or them. I am not exaggerating. They were close to each other. Very close. I know air traffic control wouldn’t have approved if they were planes. But they couldn’t have been. You couldn’t hear anything. Just light after light. They were headed east towards Indiana. I never been religious but after yesterday I believe everything we hear about. God, Heavens earth, dinosaur, aliens, UFO’s are real. 2020 has been a hell of a year. These stimulus checks won’t help at all if they decide to truly invade us. The government is a lie. They don’t tell us the truth

I saw dozens, my sister stated she watched for several minutes before calling me and she saw at least a hundred of the lights. I tried to search online to see if there was military or massive airline movement but found nothing. There was no sound, and I would really like an explanation.
