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 odd shape object came from the east and had multiple lights of different colors. It moved quickly and as I stood in my back yard and watched it it appeared to come over me and I was able to see that it was not a plane or helicopter. It was shaped like a diamond but a angled diamond. At each of the points the lights were different colors. One point had a blue light, one had a red light, one and had 2 white/yellow lights and the last had point had a yellow/white light. the lights also intermittent. There was also a subtle sound. As it came across the sky it glided in the sky to the right, I did not see it fly straight forward

I am a Police Officer for the city of Harper Woods. At approximately 6:00am, myself and a fellow officer were standing in a parking lot of a church talking before the end of our shift. I was looking towards the southwest at the moon when I glanced towards the southeast. I saw 3 objects in the southeast sky and pointed towards them. My co-worker noticed them at that point and attempted to take a picture with his cell phone. He was unable to see the objects with his phone camera, but I was with mine, and took a picture of two of the objects. The objects appeared to remain stationary for approximately 3 minutes, the appeared to drift towards the east, maintaining the equal distance. As we watched the objects, they appeared to "blink out" of our vision. *Note* the night/morning was cloudless.
