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.

Around 10:05 p.m. November 9, 2019 I was sitting outside my trailer looking at the sky when I seen a ball of light falling from the sky I immediately yelled at my roommate to come outside to see what I was seeing, by the time she made it too the door it had disappeared behind the trees that where a nice distance away, she went back in and not even ten minutes after that i seen two balls of light that where maybe a quarter size of the moon come out of nowhere and fly across the sky, they where maybe thirty feet away from each other and flew toward the exact same spot that I seen the first ball of light fell from the sky, I yelled my stepsons name to run outside, and we both tried to record it but was not able to get it in time. About 15 minutes after that we sat and watched about ten to twelve jets fly across the sky leaving white smoke streaks everywhere. I truly believe that we where not the only ones who saw it, so I hope others report if they saw anything.

Sitting on the deck behind my house I noticed something in my peripheral flying above me coming from the North and heading South directly over my house. I was sitting facing North looking at the back of my house, I didn't get a great view of it because I was turning to see it directly over me I was trying to grab my glasses at the same time. It was Triangle shaped or more like a flying wing and it flew low and completely silent over me and vanished over the tree line behind me. I had thought it might be higher in the sky and much larger but judging by the way it appeared over my roof and then vanished over the tree line I knew my inclination that it was very low was likely accurate. It was white but glowing almost like it had a fog around it or like some sort of ghostly apparition. I had my phone in my lap, but it happened so fast and it was so low that it came in and then out of my visual space in less than 10 seconds. Here’s where I’ll put my though! ts about what I think but I can’t necessarily confirm size and speed. I fly drones, so I believe the height of this thing was about 150’ high or under and from that height I’m sort of guessing but it must have been at least 20’ from wing tip to wing tip and was moving at approx. 40mph. There was another entry on your National UFO reporting site for Missouri from 11/26/2018 in Columbia, Missouri that explained almost the exact same thing but they saw it from more of a distance away than I was able too.

My wife woke me up at 05:40 ecstatic over something outside. We proceeded out to our driveway where we viewed a group of white orbs or lights moving in all different directions around one main orb or light. The movement was from southwest and moved in a north to northe east direction. At several points during the 15 to 20 minutes we noticed that the shape change from round to triangle and then back to round. The smaller orbs or lights were moving erratically around the stationary or very slow moving center orb or light. The moved at a very slow rate of speed in the direction of travel but the smaller orbs or lights moved extramly fast around the main orb or light creating the different shapes. It only disappeared due to the sun coming up.
