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.

My little brother was gazing in the sky and saw something flying in the atmosphere and told me to look to my surprise when I looked was what the hell is that, it appeared to be 3 object flying synchronize in formation im guessing at a very fast rate and it was like it had camo like it would look like a star but then it would look like the sky and I would fade in in out , so 15 minutes past and right over the house over were about 44 fly objects just like the ones we just saw and they would fly to a curtain point and they would i guess jump light speed or something ,but it was some that I guess might have been lost because we saw a few stragglers but there ship would let off a very bright light i guess and I could jump kind of sort of the sky , it was the most beautiful thing we ever seen .

I was looking up at the moon in my driveway. The sky was still blue because the sun hadn't set yet. A light about the size of the north star appeared out of nowhere directly to the right of the moon. It stayed in one place for 2-3 minutes before moving slowly to the south, then becoming stationary again for a few minutes. The light went back north at the same speed as when it went south. It was stationary for a few more moments and then traveled east. There where no flashing/blinking lights, it never changed color, nor did it make a sound. In my opinion it wasn't even in our atmosphere. The light was just as bright as the north star on a clear night. I decided to take my telescope out when it was stationary to the east. What I saw through the telescope, I can't get out of my head. My wife took a look and it freaked her out so bad she could take another look. I studied this object for as long as I could. It was a triangle or almost U shaped. In my telescope it was as big as a nickel so with something that size in the telescope I would think you would be able see some type of structure, but there wasn't. It was just a very bright white triangle/U shape light that moved from north to south back to north and then east. For me, the most incredible event was when it decided to leave. As I was looking at it with the telescope, it started to move east more so I had to keep adjusting the telescope. I found it, I centered it and in a faction of a second it was gone. After witnessing something like this, it has me definitely looking up and questioning a lot of things.
