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.

I was sky watching for scheduled ISS crossover. Some thin clouds. A Red streak with wide (hazy?)signature crossed in front of path of the ISS. It raced across for maybe ? 3 seconds then I couldn't see beyond trees to know if it was viewable longer. I noticed it at aprox 65-70 Degr high it 'appeared' from West headed NE. moving much faster than even the ISS. While ISS appears to 'arc' in the sky, the 'Streak' actually seemed possibly closer to earth and appeared to move more parallel to horizon than any meteors Ive seen. The ISS was on its way, arcing 'up' and crossed the Red Streaks' path aprox 30 Sec to 1 minute after It (red streak) had already transversed the area and out of my line of sight. Im thinking maybe it was space junk burning up or a meteor (tho Ive never seen a red one) Im reporting this because I saw another strange thing in conjunction with the ISS about...5-7 ?? years ago (that I did not report) where an 'object' was trailing the ISS across the (evening) sky staying a constant, even, distance behind it, (for at least 5-10minutes) clear as the ISS itself, but appeared to be smaller. I was on the phone with a friend who witnessed the same. We were about 21 miles apart - watched and commented to each other over the call until ISS was out of sight. I didn't report, assuming it was garbage from the ISS (?) Then, sometime later I saw a few reports about 'objects' following the station. So, now Im wondering about that event, and curious about what I saw tonight. Could very well have been junk or a meteor I guess. I didnt find any meteor showers listed to happen tonight. Just wanted to report this, see if anybody else saw, and to see what you all think.

At about 11:30pm on 03/11/2015 I heard a high pitched noise above my house. A noise I've never heard before. So I looked in the way I heard it was going and I saw a bright light in the sky. It's a clear night tonight and I've never seen a light that bright or stay in that spot before. My current position is 42°1'25"N, 88°12'2"W. It's in my vision of anywhere from 220° SW-230° SW. As I'm writing this it is now 12:13am 03/12/2015 and the light object seems to slowly move more west. Thank you for your time. Possible sighting of a celestial body? PD
