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.

Maybe it’s nothing but considering it can only be seen while playing the videos in slow motion and it’s still clearly faster than the Blue Angels that I was filming, it’s pretty interesting. If you blink, you’ll miss it. It’s so fast and when I pause it and take a screen shot, then zoom in, on one of them, the shape changes from a dot to an odd shape. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]

Driving vehicle across I-10 bridge, and noticed light moving across sky at high speed. Light did not leave a trail. Similar size as to stars in the sky. Light moved at high acceleration and speed.

While driving home from work on 08/04/2023 at 1550 CST I observed and caught on dashcam a golfball sized orb that descended from between the two overpasses I was stopped under while waiting for a traffic light to change. The orb appeared as a very bright golfball sized sphere that decended from above the two overpass at approximately a 45° angle in an unwavering fashion not common to natural objects like insects. This felt like it was being controlled. As the orb decended to the height of the guardrail a few feet away it changed course and moved horizontally as it continued moving towards the railing. I observed the orb as it passed between the metal railing and the concrete wall just out of view of my dash camera. Traffic begain moving and I was not able to continue observing the orb.

I noticed the object decending from the clouds as I slowed down for a red light. The object resembled an oval shapped hockeypuck, and was standing on its end and rotating about once every 3-5 seconds. It appeared to be light in color on the opposite faces and dark around the rim. The object decended from the cloud and moved towards the left and appeared to come to a complete stop, while continuing to rotate. It then slowly accended back into the cloud coverage. This was not a balloon. It had clearly defined edges and was very stable in its rotation, unlike a balloon which wobbles in the wind. This object was not drifting, it was definately under powered control.

It was May 5th 2021 at 3:03 PM. My friend and I were driving a moving van on I-10 near Egland AFB heading west back to Pensacola. I was the first to see it as it appeared out of the tree line at near tree top level directly ahead of me. I had enough time to say "hey Parker, do you see that?". To which he said something like C ((words deleted))" He had leaned forward and watched the object as it passed us at tree top level.
