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 saw a strange light which I assumed was a satellite or a drone so I took pictures. When you zoom in on them they show what appears to be a shiny round object. It sat still in the sky for 15 min or so then vanished suddenly.

Object in sky was white round like with black markings that resembled blocks or ladder looking close to the shape of an air balloon looking at it I first thought a balloon with streamers but after I pulled off road for better look I thought if it were a balloon and streamers it wouldn’t look this big ‘ it was big that’s when I noticed the black markings more prominent it seemed to be stationary or slightly floating I tried two different numbers to report this they told me to use this form

Horizon of white lights going slowly with no sound and slowly turned vertical and then once it got horizontal it very quickly shot downward and disappeared. Pictures were taken.

girlfriend and I saw between 10-12 white illuminated objects moving from an SW to NE direction in the sky at night. They appeared to be coming from ground-level, reaching several thousand feet into the air. They were fairly slow-moving and faded-out seconds after first appearing on the horizon. The looked similar to flares, but were slower, bright white and all following the same path, forming a perfect line in the sky. They were spaced about a second apart from one another.

As my friend and I were about a mile on the freeway from sand hollow exit, we noticed two extremely bright lights about 40 feet in the air above us. As we came closer to them I noticed one was closer to the ground than the other hovering to the left. As we were right beneath them I say red blue and green lights underneath both the objects. As the night went on my friend and I kept seeing these objects in the sky that appeared to be falling at a rapid speed and then they would shoot either up again or to the side. I could see the different colors spin in the air as it would zip around in different directions. I believe that they were the same objects that were hovering over the freeway.
