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.

My husband and I were driving south on Clio Road when we saw two extremely bright lights hovering over a popular record store to the right of us. We pulled over into the lot and were watching the lights hover motionless and then suddenly dart around a few times. Other people pulled over, too, and we were all stunned watching. No one could figure out what it was. Suddenly it just shot out of sight, so fast and upward. I am hearing all these similar reports now and wondered if the time period was of interest.

Around 530 pm a fireball was seen falling from the sky, as in picture and video given. Suddenly it came to a stop, and just floated in the air. Buoyant. We were driving on the highway at the time so we lost it for several minutes, when spotted again we took more vids. Suddenly it shot into upper atmosphere, where it started flashing many dozens of lights. No lights are seen in the pictures. Then, in a puff of smoke, it vanishes. Last picture this can be seen.

Went out to grab a few things in my car and after locking my doors I just happened to look in the sky and notice this light with another light at the bottom of it following it perfectly. It disappeared for a second and then popped back up and if you zoom in on the video it looks like a fireball ...guessing it could be a meteor rock entering the atmosphere or something but I am not sure.

I was driving home from vacation in New York City, and when we got home, there were dogs howling loudly and crickets chirping aggressively. I then saw a yellow-white flash in the sky, and it hovered for about 30 seconds. It made a loop-the-loop and then flew straight up, and then began to fly forward. The farther it got away, the brighter the light. It stayed in the sky for about 2 minutes and then disappeared. When it disappeared, the noise stopped. I was 100% sober (I like to smoke weed since it is legal in Michigan) and didn't know what the hell happened.

I was standing out side in my back yard having a bonfire,I was looking up at the sky at the stars and i noticed what looked like 20 ships in a single formed line shooting across the sky at a very high rate of speed which is what caught my attention in the first place.i first thought they were stars,but stars dont move like these things were moving..I watched them for about 15 seconds before i ran into the house to get my girlfriend so she could see what i was seeing as well..

Saw a line of lights, evenly spaced apart, which appears to be part of a larger structure which was rotating. Caught on video but the quality is not the greatest. Appeared to be about 100 miles due west from Flint, MI - likely near Lake Michigan close to the Grand Rapids area. When I first saw them, it appeared that it was several separate objects, flying straight and disappearing into space, but after reviewing the video it definitely appears they were part of a larger object which is rotating. Very clear night, and able to clearly see passenger aircraft flying at cruising altitudes, this appears to be much lower than them and compared to images of the starlink satellites - the spacing in between lights is much, much father apart. There appears to be an aircraft, likely a helicopter, flying around the vicinity of the first object, and disappears shortly after the lights do. From start to finish of my video is exactly 2 min 20 sec. The video stops on its own and for some reason takes a single picture as it shuts off. At precisely this time the lights disappeared.
