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.

Took my dogs outside and looked up and saw some type of craft just sitting still in one spot. I took pics and the first pic had the flash on. Then it slowly started to move and there was a soft humming sound so I took pics without the flash and it disappeared as if clouds covered it but the sky was clear. I never seen it take off, just slowly moving. I have pictures

My dog jumped out of a sleep and wanted to go outside. I opened the back door and heard a low droning or humming sound seemingly coming from the right or East. My dog seemed sketched out, barked a few times. I took her into the yard on her leash. She was reluctant to move, I had to pull her. Her ears were tucked back and eyes wide. At some point the droning sound stopped. I looked at the clear night sky and saw a white light flash brightly 3 times. I thought it was odd that it just stopped as I had assumed it was an airplane. Moments later it appeared again, 3 flashes, to the right of the first time. Again it seemed odd but as I could theoretically draw a line from the first time to the next I assumed it was an aircraft. I then saw it again, every time was 3 flashes in the same spot. This time it seemed much closer; appearing to be close to the top of a tall (100+ foot) tree. It happened several different times again near the top of the tree but no longer was the path a straight line. In the moment I assumed it was always the same light/being/ufo as it would only happen at one time moments apart from each other. Then it appeared closer, again 3 flashes, no sound, appearing maybe 50 feet above the fence which was like 40 feet from me. Then again like 20 feet from me, maybe 20’feet above the ground. Meanwhile my dog would not walk still in scared stance with eyes wide and ears back. Meanwhile I had my phone’s flashlight on shining down on the grass as I was barefoot and didn’t want to step in poo. I turned it off and back on a couple times in the midst of this. I had chills and still can’t believe it. I saw the bright white triple flash again above my driveway. For sure there was trees in between the light and I so it was not in the sky. Again it flashed above my garage. One last triple flash that I could see above my house towards the opposite end where the bedrooms are (my house is ranch style so just a long rectangle). That was the last time I saw it as it seemed to be moving on to another place , or who knows. These flashes did not seem to light up the surroundings that I noticed as if a camera flash would, but were in now way dull or dim. It seemed about the size of a baseball more or less.

Me and a buddy of mine were walking to his place around 8:45PM.the neighborhood we were in was well lit so you could see in the sky well. We thought we saw a plane flying nearby, but upon closer inspection it took the shape of an oval. There were two neon lines going around the craft - one blue, one green - and the craft seemed to almost shrink before slowly guiding itself away from our sight. Needless to say we were very paranoid the rest of the way there, all the while talking about ways we could debunk it, but ultimately couldn't. It was 9PM by now and I had to walk back home. Then, I saw it again. It was lower to the ground this time and seemed to be swaying dramatically. The lines however were not there this time, but it had three rotating square neon lights around it. After seeing it, I hurried home and shut all window blinds and locked the doors.

Several shape shifting lights in formation at times above Old Hickory Lake for about 90 minutes or better. At times the lights would pulsate above the grey clouds and form pyramid or boomerang shapes in formation and then light blue-ish green lights would pulse. At times it would shoot across the sky and cast orb like shapes and fly above the lake in circles in the sky.

We live on a hill with unobstructed views so it was pretty easy to spot the bright object. I know the military base likes to travel down towards our area to run tests a lot so maybe it was something they were testing. It was strange. I was creeped out so I shut the blinds tight and left the bathroom light on. We did not sleep much afterwards.

It looked like a giant black parachute that glistened silver on top when it turned. It seemed to go up and down at while and moved very acrobatically. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
