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.

The object may have been emitting a low humming motor noise, but it was hard to tell between the noise of freeway traffic. The object seemed to change shape into a disc then back into a fireball. It disappeared behind me as I turned and I couldn't see it any longer.

Sitting with my grandchild on the front porch. Pointing out various stars, planets and aircraft. I pointed out what I thought was a satellite. He wanted to know what satellites do and we started talking. He says Papa it’s moving around. I look back up and this object is moving around with crazy vector thrust making 90 degree turns. It lasted about 15 seconds and then went behind a cloud. Waited for the cloud to pass but nothing else was observed

My house is surrounded by tall pine trees, but you can see the stars over the house and in between the tips of the trees. I was on my back deck looking at the stars as I do on and off every night and I saw what looked like a bright white "star" move silently and quickly across the sky in seconds. I continued to scan the sky and one minute later another bright white star looking object appeared instantly right where I was looking to the left of the direction where the first originated (there was nothing there when I turned my gaze to this spot and it appeared right before my eyes). About another minute later two more of these objects appeared and created a triangle with the second object. I came inside shortly after. I see these bright white star looking objects cross the sky in the same area at least 2 to 3 times a month. The last time I saw these there were 8 of them perfectly distanced apart all seemed to be moving at the same speed and one by one they crossed the sky silently (this happened in a matter of 3-5 minutes). I have not yet been able to get video footage of this activity. When I do I will be happy to share.

My spouse and I saw a linear pattern of lights moving slowly over Bellingham, WA for about 30 seconds. It was a large structure and the lights appeared to be almost like large bay windows with light shining out. Honestly, it reminded me of a fleet ship from Star Wars as odd as that sounds.

1st thought was a large helicopter hovering with a mirror of it's self hung underneath with no sound. It also reminded me of a Borg ship from Star Trek. Too far to see outlines or hear noise.
