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.

09//4/22 at exactly 10:18 p.m. I was sitting on my porch, facing towards my house (which would face me towards the Chesapeake Bay). I turned my head to the right to look down our street, and saw something large in the sky, with a glowing hue around it flowing on the top, and sides. I starred at it as it made it halfway across the sky towards the Chesapeake Bay. I yelled to my husband to come out something was in the sky. He came outside looked up. We both watched it continue to move towards the Chesapeake Bay. I grabbed my camera, and took a picture of it. Then when it looked like it was above the Chesapeake Bay, it disappeared into the sky instantly. Afterwards, we viewed the picture, and could see the object where we saw it with our naked eyes. We also noticed the large glowing hue, we saw the whole time,was not in the picture.

09/04/22 at 10:18 pm. We saw something in the sky, that had a glow of light in front of it (like air that was glowing and being pushed to the side). It moved very fast, and smoothly. I was alone, and had been sitting in a lawn chair. I stood up, and saw the glow, and how it moved differently than the usual planes we see in the flight paths usually taken in the sky! I called to my husband who had just walked inside, and he came out and saw it as well. My phone was on the porch, and he said take a picture. I grabbed the phone (which was on our porch), and took a pic. We continued to watched it, and about 45 seconds later it disappeared into the sky! On August 12, 2022 we had been sitting out front, and a round glowing ball of light came by our house. Then a few minutes later it came back, and went back to the direction it had came from. It was fast, and smooth. It was between 11-1 am. We had been sitting out front that night. We did not get a picture of that occurrence.

Around 8:56pm on Saturday evening, I was detailing my vehicle in my front yard facing the north. It was a clear night after days of overcast sky's and rain. My teen daughter came out to talk with me while I was wrapping things up and I saw a light rise up over the tree line in front of me in the distance engulfed in a glowing aura. I exclaimed to my daughter "Oh look! what do you think that is?" She turned around to look with me, and we watched the craft(light). A Golden, and white aura, with a red glow in the front of, what seemed to resemble an inverted chevron shape (The chevron wasn't visible until it gained altitude and decreased its illumination.) It increased speed and illumination while gaining altitude. It then de-illuminated, but was still visible to the naked eye due to the sunlight slightly still in the western sky. It then traveled across the sky from the north to my east, (In the direction of the Norfolk international Airport) then change direction away form us going east super fast, super sonic speed towards the horizon in the direction of the oceanfront all still with no sound at all. What I thought was a firework at first just totally blew our minds!

Upon getting out my car after making groceries. I let my son out of the car and started to get my groceries out of my car in the parking lot. My 3 year old son said " look mommy ", and pointed at the sky. This mysterious light or UFO was flying over house and flying across the sky in circles around our house . It did at one point look like it turn a slightest green color but it was really quick. I can't explain exactly what it is until you look at the video and decipher what it looks like to you.

Setting: Driver of a vehicle, overcast, medium to light traffic, headed northbound recently passing the Hampton Coliseum (~exit 263). I Saw(1): A massive ship "moving slowly across all lanes of the highway just above the trees, slowly enough for me to observe the ship with great detail approaching it. I am pretty sure I was in a state of awe as I kept driving. MAYBE Missing time: I was on a short timeline to meet my brother in Richmond. No planned stops (full gas) 1.5ish hr drive. I don't recall pulling over (I am the type of person that, when I drive, I don't like to stop if I don't have to) I Saw (2): I am in a parking lot at a fast food restaurant (don't remember) in my vehicle (backed in a parking spot) just off of the highway I was just on. Not enough time to process until I immediately see the ship again, and I am put into another state of awe. It's just over the highway still where I need to go. I remember getting back on the highway and eventually passing under the ship. I was able to get an extremely good look at the underside of the craft (huge ship) while leaning forwarding looking up through my windshield. The craft was so long you could not see end to end of the ship when it was perpendicular to the highway from my vantage point. The odd thing is I remember seeing the ship from two very different angles. The first sighting occurred after just passing the Hampton Coliseum, and again while in my parked vehicle at a fast-food place (I didn't have food in the vehicle) on a trip I never make a stop on. I am not sure if the gap in time was just from my inability to process the situation or if I simply pulled over in shock. I have a Garmin Dashcam. I remember trying to have it recorded but it was not responding to my commands. No footage was saved when I checked the SD Card. Ship description: (A VERY similar ship that I could say it looks like is the Arbitrator, from EVE Online... Seriously). Had characteristics of a V but not the flying V you can find in popular UFO google searches) -Green, red, and sometimes blue flashing lights. -Red "under-dome" -Metal plating, clayish to rust color. -Piping and cables were black and situated behind the plating -exposed "intricacies" between the "gapped" outer plating -Silent -It's movement in the air was "glitchy"

My Daughter and I were outside about 16:30 9/15/21 examining a large spider that had spun a big web, high on the eves of our house. As we walked further around to the front of the yard examining it, she exclaimed "Dad, what's that light?" I looked up into the sky and saw what I thought was Venus at first. I even told her "Oh, that's just Venus!" I looked away at her ready to explain how I had been watching Venus rises in that part of our sky. Then she said "Yeah, but its moving.." I returned my gaze up to the object which at first glance looked like a celestial body. If it had been still in the sky, I would have thought it a large star or planet type of heavenly body. She was correct! It sure was moving. Slowly across the sky, horizontally over the Norfolk Airport area. Form our view it was first moving from the south to the north, north east. As it traveled, it seemed to intensify in its luminosity as we watched it go across the sky(it never dropped in altitude, was defiantly not a flare), like a bright LED bulb but with no glare. Just a ball of illumination. The light was (Star like) is the best I can describe. Nothing I've seen in a craft before. An aircraft of some kind was flying high, and circling around in front of, the forward flightpath of the UAP. My daughter exclaimed "I don't like what that helicopters doing" I said :You think its chasing it??" She said "Yeah! Look!" The UAP then stopped its northerly course and went directly east, quickly fading out into the distance. We noticed after it was gone a few other high altitude aircraft in the vicinity of the event.
