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 live below an active airfield and enjoy watching planes and helicopters crossing overhead. I've become skilled at telling which is which as they pass over and what directions they will usually come from, as well as some "regulars" who have private planes in the air. From time to time, I will check an unknown or new plane out on flight radar. Late in the evening. when the light starts to turn golden. I was watering my garden and watching the sky for any late planes and saw a low-flying, silent object in the sky. It was perfectly round and moving very smoothly and rapidly. It was moving against whatever wind I was feeling then and did not appear to have the bob-and-weave motion of a balloon that would have been as high up as it appeared to be. I attempted to get a photo, but when I looked down to grab my phone, the object either rapidly disappeared behind the tree line or outright disappeared as I was unable to observe it again. To me it looked perfectly round, but I had a sense it was flat or ellipsoid and was gold in color. Like a soap bubble, but massive. I suspect it was only reflecting the color that was being shone from the sunset.

I know this report is months after the fact. I did not realize at the time that there was a reporting site. On October 14th 2019 me my daughter and a guest watched and filmed a short video of something we could not explain. My daughter and guest noticed the object first and then got my attention to see it as well. We observed a bright object in a South Westerly direction from our location in my back yard. The night was clear and calm. We observed the objects behavior for a few minutes before I recorded it with my phone. The object would blink and then would move away for a few seconds then return. The object would move up and down then appear to hover. Eventually the objects disappeared from view. The object would move fast then slow. In the video I captured it was bright then dim then moved away then back. When it dimmed out again, I stopped filming. After a few seconds it reappeared then seem to move straight down. Below the roof line of my neig! hbor's home. I’m a bit of a skeptic. I was in US Army and National Guard aviation. This I can’t explain. I’ve been on and witnessed many aircraft and none of them moved like that. The video is 2:01 long recorded on October 14th 2019 at 20:22 hrs. My daughter is into astronomy and was amazed. The Guest is a manager at a local facility and I’m Retired from service as well as a State certified Security Officer. I didn’t report this right away because I wanted to try and debunk what I saw. I cannot.

Tonight, while walking my dog, I witnessed a white light, like a plane, moving across the sky (west to east) with a blinking red light and helicopter sound following it. I continued to watch both objects as I thought they were both from XNA. However, when I saw the red blinking light catch up with the solid white light and it seemed to chase it away, it seemed odd to me. There was never a plane sound, there were no green and red lights attached to the white light and there was only the sound of a helicopter. Yet, the white light disappeared in the distance after the blinking red light and helicopter sound caught up with it.

I was in my car parked, sending a voice message. When I saw something moving, I thought it was an airplane but since it doesn't have the classic lights of an airplane I start looking at it more carefully. I saw it in the air. The light inter-city was the same as star in the night. But it was moving across the air, due to the intensity of light, I could notice that it was far, but the most relevant thing was the speed. I never seen something moving that fast in the air. It wasn't a comer or something. It was a light. And then it suddenly disappear in the middle of the air.
