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.

Object changed colors red stationary to orange moving with a trail or tail behind. Trail dissipated on stopping. Moved with intent up stop right sped up stopped then went out. Thought it was a light on a tower until it moved and stopped Thought it was a comet as the tail grew Thought it was an aircraft but illumination went off and it stayed in one spot Color was not constant.

I just turned onto Hayworth St in Port Charlotte, Fl on 1/5/2023 at 9pm when my granddaughter and I witness a circular object with bright lights in the sky. The object had steady bright lights with one on each side hovering over the area not moving for about 3 mins. Just when I thought to get my phone out to record, it disappeared so fast.

My home security camera captured two spheres of light hovering around. It appeared as if they were aware of each other. Then the biggest sphere released a much smaller sphere, and all 3 appeared to hover in respect to each other.

Approx 6:15 PM the wid was at our back approx 10-15 mph "Gentle but opposite direction craft was moving" not a sound was coming from it whatso ever. In the beginning of the Wifes recording it was maybe 200yds over the top of the cranes directly, so you can get a pretty good idea of the size. What really got us was the rotation, it kept changing clockwise to counterclockwise.

It was a chevron shaped w craft spotted from 210 degrees departing 330 degrees low and fast showing no navigation lights, strobe lights, or identification lights of any kind. The object appeared smoky and mirror light perhaps reflecting star light or mirrored lights. It was traveling what we could guess about 600 mph with absolutely no sound. Really weird. Similar object seen from same location 3 years ago. Definitely not a b-2 bomber. Completely silent.
