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 light seemed to be flying through a cloud, had a haze around it and seemed to be a directional light changing where it was pointing a couple of times. I am an air traffic controller and the light was verified by a pilot but not seen by our radar services. When the light got south of the airfield it had a seemingly burst of gas the shot out in front of it like a cone shape and then the light slowly faded until it was spotted again about 30 seconds later further to the southeast looking more like a bright star while moving and faded out very rapidly after about 10 seconds and then faded again until it was no longer visible or observed.

Also to the northwest right above the moon there was a cluster of lights shaped in a big skinny triangle. It had lights that would slowly dim then light up again. After all this happen we looked away for a brief moment and when we looked back the entire sky was covered in fog. I have video but it is not great quality.
