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.

Walked out to Jeep at 8:08pm and somethjng so bright caught my attention and I realized it wasn’t an aircraft/drone/satellite/starlink so I rushed in to tell my wife and she ran out with her phone ok and captured it the best we could. We ruled out satellites and planes from tracking apps and have no idea what it was, but we submitted video as well.

The object did not move. It stayed in one position the whole time. The sun was reflecting, quite brightly off the bottom of it. Through a pair of binoculars, I was able to see the lights rotating counter clockwise

I was looking at the clear night moonlit sky at around 11:30 pm when I saw a bright blinking light that was moving very rapidly across the southern sky at about a 45 degree angle from the horizon. It moved clear across the entire sky in a very quick time and left a trail of white behind it for a short distance. I see airplanes, planets, falling stars and satellite s but it was non of these things, it moved so so fast across se to Sw horizon to horizon.

I would guess at 5,000 feet Going very fast. 300+ mph Absolutly no sound Shaped like a boomerang, pretty large. 100-150 feet wide. 50 feet diameter in the middle. not sure how thick it was first one was moving due South then turned and went off to the South East. Then about a minute later a second one came straight overhead and traveling from the North due South without any change. It was very calm not even a breeze, not a cloud in the sky. The objects had the appearance of transparancy like a cloud, white in color.

While outside my niece said “what’s that?” And pointed up. When we looked up there was a straight row of small lights. We knew it wasn’t an ordinary air craft because none of the lights were blinking. The only way I can describe it is like a straight row of Christmas lights on a string. Some of the lights were white, some were blue, and some of them were green. You could kind of make out a shape behind the lights that looked like a blimp shape. There were no clouds in the sky so it was strange when the object looked like it disappeared into nothing. They are saying it is a satellite on Facebook but still want to report.

My friend and I were outside smoking on a clear sunny Sunday evening when we noticed a bright light moving in the sky roughly 1000-2000 ft above. Very bright white orb moving steady along with no sound. Friend mentioned he herd nothing and the the light was 3 notches of brightness below the sun. The ball of light kept moving until out of view. Could clearly see the circumference of the orb and the light was extra bright from the very center with small rays emitting outward incased by the orb. Also, there were other air craft in the area at cursing altitude and a few private planes entering and leaving the local airport.
