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.

We were outside trying to get into vehicle that had keys stuck inside when we noticed a black craft flying very low and it had two white lights on ends with red light underneath all flashing like crazy. It make very little sound for how big it was. I tried to get video of it but my camera would not focus on it. It flew slow , and went east until we almost could not see it and then it did a 180 degree turn and decent down into the hillside . [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Stargazing at 10:30 pm local time, facing north, my attention was drawn to a faint light I saw traveling high in NE sky (about 70 [seventy] degrees). The light appeared initially like a common satellite in terms of brightness and size as it approached from the east. Then, it slowed and seemed to descend, tracing out a path in the shape of the number 5. In other words, it slowed, continued to travel east-to-west, then dipped straight down, and then traced an arc (again, imagine the shape of a number 5). As it traced the arc, it increased in brightness until about midway through the arc's completion, it was as bright as an approaching airliner's landing lights, whereupon it began to decrease in luminosity. When the arc was completed, the light was back at its original luminosity. At this point, it accelerated in a straight path directly to the north and was gone in about five seconds.

I took a couple pictures of the moon very low in the horizon early in the morning of 1/29/23. At the time I did nor notice anything unusual in the sky. When I looked at the pictures later that day I noticed a triangle/wing shaped object in the photos. In the first photo the object appears smaller and headed NW. In the second picture the object appears large with more definition and apparently headed SW. My camera takes a number of frames leading up to the final photo so there are a number of frames with the object moving in the sky.

My boyfriend and I were driving down the road and noticed a light blue beam appear in the sky through the windshield, a couple seconds after realizing what we were seeing a black ufo came ripping through the beam. It was hard to see the shape of it but it looked pretty cylinder shaped. The activity of it all was probably two or three evergreen trees, height wise, away from us in the sky. It was close and definitely making impact for a crash. Whatever it was, it appeared like it was trying to slow down. When it actually started to slow down, red sparks started flying behind it and there was a fire that sparked up right before it disappeared. The blue beam disappeared slowly after the craft, fire, and sparks did.

Weather being pleasant, I sat in my back yard to stargaze. Visibility was good, cloud cover faint. At about 9:00 PM, two points of light appeared to the NNE at about 65 degrees. I was gazing in the general direction when they appeared, so witnessed their onset. They appeared simultaneously, then over the course of five to ten seconds, their illumination increased steadily to brighter than the forward lights of an oncoming airliner. Then, within about five more seconds, they faded back down, again steadily, back to invisible. Both lights were moving, slowly, toward the east. I have heard this slow-flash to extraordinarily bright, brief illumination referred to as a "power up" by others who have captured similar appearances in video footage. I remained watching for about another hour with no further activity. My location lies directly beneath an air corridor to nearby Payne Field, in Everett, which lies about 7 miles directly to the north. There is no conceivable way the activity I witnessed could have had anything to do with local airport activity. I am a project manager in telecommunications and information security.

Hello, I've had this green bone like object for awhile and I still have no idea what it is so I thought I should file a report. I found it laying on the ground of my old place that I was renting a room from. It's green, has a brush like texture on one side. I was thinking it was a "Greenie" treat for dogs but my old landlord had no dogs whatsoever and there were no dogs on the property for atleast over 8 years. Would you know what this thing is? It doesn't appear to be a greenie or something like that.
