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 tend to look out my window every morning and notice these lights at a distance. La Guardia Airport is close so there is quite air traffic. However these lights were first 3 then 5, they managed to just stay hovering. You would think they were helicopters but no sound what so ever was made. I am not one to believe in strange being but this odd.

On balcony enjoying a beautiful night by the beach a bright light appeared from the north white and bright. Object shot left and disappeared in seconds, but not before it left a trail. Object returned in course of an hour 7 times.

3 VERY bright lights in sky, still. one would move away, then rejoin. Often a pair would be so close as to look as 1 light. Hovered over queens/atlantic yards area for at least 15 minutes. I saw from more the a mile away and the lights were VERY big and bright. Very still.

I took a look outside for fresh air, when I noticed two strange white lights circling the sky half faded and a storm looking like object a appeared right behind the lights. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. We suspect an evening sighting, and have amended the time above. We wonder whether the lights might have been circling advertising lights. PD
