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 craft was pentagonal shaped kind of like a diamond, maybe 30' tall and 15' wide at the center. It had a clear shield around it like it was invisible but as it spun you could decipher the object by the suns reflection off it's shell. It was spinning in a circle slowly about 150' off the ground. I was driving so I looked at it 3 times intermittently. Then my girlfriend said "& it's gone, just vanished. There was no sound. Quite cool to witness! Then there is the light orb that flew through my house at like 3 in the morning like a star; woke us up immediately w a sort of vacuum noise & slight oder of ozone. But that could've been metaphysical or who knows, just another less cool happening. Totally understand if you want to edit this last part out of the uap/UFO narrative for this article.

Faint lights moving in a straight line spaced evenly not too close to each other. Moving across the night sky, no blinking lights. Appear to be very high. NW to SE . They just kept coming. About 30 in all. At one point two brighter lights traveled in the same direction, same speed but parallel to the others. No sound.

At approximately 8:53PM my neighbor, a police officer, and I witnessed UFO phenomena in the mountains 45 minutes Southwest of Denver. If you are familiar with what a satellite looks like when going across a sky it will be easier to understand what we saw. Essentially it looks like a star that slowly creeps it's way across the sky. I was outside, bored from quarantine and playing with my badass blue light laser from China. It is like holding a 25 mile long lightsaber. I was pointing out constellations for my neighbor when all of a sudden I saw what I assumed to be a satellite. I circled it with the beam and showed to identify it. A few seconds later we saw another, directly in line. Strange but not crazy... Except they kept coming. Five in a row forming a perfect straight line streaking the sky. They were evenly spaced, but strangely, had differnt magnitudes of brightness. I freaked the fuck out and tried to take a video, but as you know you can't tape things with the brightness of stars using a cell phone camera. After the objects made their way across the horizon, two more seemed to follow quickly in pursuit, not in a line but side by side. These however were the same brightness as each other and bluish in color. Also unlike the previous five, these two disappeared suddenly after flying half way across the sky. From our position we witnessed all objects follow a Northeastern trajectory. Following the incident I called a Denver new station and asked if they had other reports. They did and dismissed them as satellites. I am an amateur astronomer and know what I saw. Satellites do not travel in formation. I believe the objects did not have physical lights on them but were rather travelling in space. The light from the sun made their reflections visible. This rules out military aircraft which as a dime a dozen in CO. And not to mention they were completely silent.

Watched it a few minutes to see if it'd move, which it didn't. Had this weird, creepy feeling like I never felt before that it was watching me. I went in to get binoculars to try get a better look. When came back out it was gone.

I had stepped out on my tiny porch to view the stars as I often do. When I looked up in the northwest sky I saw a disk like saucer with non-flashing green lights about a half mile away. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had taken my phone out with me and began taking pictures of this vehicle. It was odd because it came very close to the path of an airliner. The green lights were surrounding the perimeter of this UFO. It made no noise. I counted at least 8 that I could see. My photos showed how this object didn't just fly horizontal, but was wobbling to vertical at times. I was able to capture 40 pictures. The UFO is very hard to see but I have three great ones. It almost looks like a green beaded necklace. I am very excited to have seen something that no one can explain.

While watching the lunar eclipse, my brother and saw orange/blue blinking round object cutting across the west part of the sky going faster than plane, from us.satellite .shooting star etc....., it then slowed up and when straight away f trom us.....then text time we saw it , it was way 1 ... 0'x farther away, a very small dot of light but was moving from right to left......it was very fast because it was so far away but it hooked up with another white light changing colors.....then both of them started to zig zag as if they were having fun.....after the moon eclipse was over they both flew off.......
