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 sitting on my deck in my backyard lastnight. You will here my water fountain running in the background i also have a large pool in my backyard. In this video you'll see that the object changes shape "square" multiple times, it went from a white ball of light to multiple colors and shapes. I really can't explain more it showed itself and was moving around like no plane I've ever saw before, there is a part in the footage you will see a plane flying by the object. I have no other explanation of what I saw the video pretty much explains it. I can zoom in on the video with my phone it's incredible and unexplained. Any info would be helpful of what you think it is. Also this is not the first time ive seen activity in this area. Thanks.
