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.

Me and my husband went out back on our back deck to look at stars. It started when I took someone home around 8:30pm on Sunday November 27 2022. When I got back home, it was maybe 15 minutes later. I was getting out of my car I noticed all the stars out.I always wanted to look at stars but usually can't see them that great here and no where to go and watch them. I go in the house and tell my husband. Saying how I wish we had some where to watch stars cause they were really out tonight. My husband said we could go on deck and watch them. We were not use to having a deck, so didn't even cross my mind. Ten or fifteen minutes later we go out on deck. It is about 9 pm. We were out there naming the stars like little dipper ect..We were standing in the v part of deck. Where it goes in different direction. I do not know if it was North, South, East or West. Looking straight ahead with head tilted upward a bit.Soon as we got out there we seen a shooting star go from left to right. My first time ever seeing one. Only been looking at them about 2 or 3 minute's when I said,"hey there is a bunch of stars in the sky right above us but there was some tree branches blocking them a bit". I said," We need to move over a bit up and to the left". We both started to move in that direction. These stars were straight above us. You had to tilt your head as far as you could to see them. My husband even mentioned that. Next thing I know my husband said, "Do you see that". I could see out of the corner of my eye he was facing opposite of where I was looking. I turned around right away and my first thought was oh those are stars but then I realized they were moving. They were so close also. "Like a football field away from what my husband said anyways. I am horrible with distancing things. Just knew it was close and looked huge from how far lights were separated.It was a zig zag shape. That is at least from what I seen and husband also confirmed. Only could she the lights. Could not see the actual shape of it. Just shape of lights. They were like foggy looking. It looked like it was cloaked. I know that sounds strange but that is just what came to mind. That this looks close and cloaked and I was not suppose to be seeing this. Also it just glided very smoothly. It was just unnatural moving. No jets or engine sounds. Completely silent. You can hear planes way up in the sky before you actually saw them. Then they moved all together for a second and then start moving back to that zig zag. That's when I told my husband come on we are going in now. I was scared.

My husband and I were walking our dogs before bed, and walked to the end of our driveway to look at the big dipper. My husband asked me "did you just see that shooting star?" I said no. A few seconds later, he said "there is another one!" I was looking for a big sweeping light to come across the sky, but then I looked to where he was pointing. There was an object that could have been a star, (same brightness, etc) that was "shooting" bright gold/white things straight up at regular intervals..I would say 3-5 seconds between. We watched for about a minute, and then the "shooting" stopped. The thing that was the origination of the "shots" then moved extremely quickly left, stopped, moved very quickly left again, and then disappeared.

Extremely large object thought it was a plane flying 100 ft above the ground just above the trees behind our house flying from North to South. I was looking out the back door looking south and noticed it flying very quietly and slowly. It looked sort of like a plane with shiny metal color but was flying way to low and quietly to be a plane and was more rectangular not like it had wings. It had 4 very large white beams of light in each corner of the object shining down, looked like search lights. I yelled up to my husband to look out the upstairs back bedroom window after it had gone past a bit but he didn't see it. My husband asked if it was a drone, and I thought maybe it was but just went online and saw what large drones look like and don't think it was a drone. I am curious if it could have been a plane flying that low. For some reason, source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD
