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.

While driving I noticed something shining and moving in the sky to my left I cousins figure out what it was and pulled over when process of elimination in my head concluded that I had no idea what it could be. I started taking pics and video as it moved around sometimes looking like a blimp and others like a disk or a giant parachute but It was large and to me unexplainable. I drove off and watched it as best I could as it disappeared. It was above the Otis Air Force base as I was driving past the base at that point so I thought maybe it was something to do with the military base. I didn’t know we could report things like this until recently. I showed my husband that day and he said it could be weather balloon (and maybe it is) So I forgot about having the photos assuming he was right Until I learned you can use this website.

It was August 26th at around 11:45 PM and my two friends and I were stargazing on the beach in Sandwich Massachusetts. It was a very quiet night with little wind and quiet waves. As I was staring up at the sky, the stars were suddenly blocked out by a slow moving black rectangle that appeared to be only about 15-20 feet above our heads. The rectangle was only about 3-feet in length, was completely black and had a small red light in the front of it. The most terrifying aspect of it was that it was completely silent. ABSOLUTELY NO noise came from it and the only reason we saw it was because we happened to be looking at the stars when it crossed right over our heads. Immediately after yelling at my friends to look up at it, we chased it for about a hundred yards and as it picked up significant speed. The way that it moved was incredible. It didn't seem aerodynamic in anyway but moved very quickly and silently and it had no fans or wings. It was simply a small, black, rectangular prism. We chased it until it suddenly turned and it crashed into the ocean about 40 yards out. The way it crashed into the water seemed almost intentional. The object moved too well and seemed too in control for it to accidentally land it in the water. The lights we had with us were too weak to see it, but we presume that it sank when we could no longer see it floating on the surface. Shortly after this incident, roughly 15 Coast Guard boats began to move back and forth very close to the shore as if they were looking for it. The next day we searched the water but with no luck, and we think the object was either found by the Coast Guard or was pulled out with the tide. I’m not a believer in aliens, but this was nothing like anything I had ever seen before. My best guess is that it was a spy/surveillance drone, but with some sort of cutting edge technology that allows it to fly without wings or motors. Whether its aliens or some government test, I don't feel safe knowing that things this stealthy and advanced exist among us. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

At approximately 8:30 pm on Friday, August 7th, 2015, I saw a glowing orange orb just under the clouds in Sandwich, MA. This sighting occurred approximately 1/10th of a mile from Town Neck Beach, in Sandwich. The orb was a bright orange that would change to a glowing white periodically. It moved very slowly in a southern direction, stopping completely several times. It made no sound. I watched it for about 4 minutes, before it disappeared into the clouds.

Then about two minutes later one more bright orange/red ball followed the same path. Then in about ten minutes later one more of the same followed the same path, then disappeared just like the other three prior. All had no sound what so ever. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to see any stars or planets, due to the cloud cover, but I continued to look up. That’s when I noticed two bright, but muted, lights shining through the clouds...one almost as bright as the muted light of the moon. The other smaller, but also bright enough to be seen through the clouds. They just hung in the sky motionless over Sandwich or the Canal area. They weren’t moving and I could hear no sound. I brought these lights to the attention of the group and asked if anyone had any idea what these lights might be, since they seemed almost as bright as the moon. My wife joked that maybe they’re UFOs, and everyone went back to socializing. When I looked back a few minutes later, the two lights were gone and didn’t return the rest of the night.
