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 stepped outside to see how hot it was right before sunset , about 8:10 pm .I looked up and watched a plane make slight turn.The was coming towards me from the southwest when it made a left turn to head north. The plane had a short contrail so the path of the turn was clear. After the plane straightened out I noticed something going by in the opposite direction. It was highly reflective and appeared higher than the plane. I went inside to get the binoculars . I got back outside found the object and tried to focus the binoculars. It was a V heading south. The plane and the contrail where both white and now well to the North of the V. The V was thin compared to the thickness of the planes wings. It was highly reflective of the sun so it did seam to have a haze around it . I lost it in a small cloud but it would went behind a tree in a few seconds anyway.

Seen a bright white light roughly the size of a full size truck about a half mile away in the sky fly rapidly right to left. Following that it almost was as if it knew I was watching and then it stopped and stayed completely still for about 20 seconds. After that it started dancing and flashing red blue red blue and then back to white. Then it flew back to the left about 5 miles away in about 5 seconds until it went past the tree line. All of which with zero sound.

I witnessed 3 craft in a wide triangle formation. They were thin maybe cigar shaped. They had red oscillating or blinking lights. I thought maybe they were planes or helicopters but there was no noise and they absolutely did not move for 20+ minutes. I did record them on my phone but they were a bit far off. They were still there when I left because I had to take my daughter to get her school bus.

I viewed what I think might have been a drone in the shape of an airplane. It was going so slow at one point. My car passed it on Rte 13 going southbound and it surprised me as my car was going 55 mph and I was pulling away from it at one point as it was traveling southbound as I was. Then it gained speed and proceeded southbound towards Philadelphia ahead of me. I later saw the object flying over Penn Valley Rd and headed towards Trenton. This time I was outside with another person and I could hear that it made noise like a very quiet airplane, but it was much larger than a Piper Cub. It had red flashing lights at times. It was weird that it was so low. Nothing about it appeared extraordinary other than the slow speed at which it traveled next to my car going southbound on Rte 13. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

3 chevron-shaped objects with flames flying too close together to be planes or jets. Two were near front and one behind a bit. The third one almost instantly caught up to the other two. They were flying like in a backward V formation. The third object emitted sparks from underneath. Then they made a sideways triangle. They then reversed their direction instantly and flew in opposite direction. And then became invisible (possibly entered a cloud).

I was in the car with my 10 year old daughter. We were heading out to go shopping for a Halloween costume. The sun was just beginning to set, when we came to a red light, in the residential section of Fairless Hill. As we sat at the red light, a rectangular object flew just above the tree tops, to the right side of our car. The craft did not seem to make any noise. It was long, and dark gray in color. The underneath was completely covered by two, side-by-side rows of about 10 round, white lights. The lights reminded me of spotlights. I'm not very good at guessing the length or distance of objects, but my best guess would be that it was about 80-100 feet in length, and about 30-40 feet in width. It was so close to us that we really couldn't tell how tall it was. We mostly got a view of the underside. As it began to move away from us, it didn't seem to appear to have much height to it at all. The craft moved at a moderately fast pace, and disappeared behind the tree line across the street very quickly. My daughter and I both looked up and pointed to the object at the same time, and it was gone that quickly. The traffic light turned green almost immediately, and we traveled in the direction that we saw it disappear behind the trees. By the time we reached a clearing in the tree line (probably about 100 feet away from the light we were previously at), the craft was so far away that it could only be seen along the distant horizon. Neither of us could figure out how it could have traveled what looked like several miles, in less than a minute. Though it was almost out of sight at that point, we were still able to make out it's shape and lights, even from that distance.
