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.

Driving south on US-301, passing through Edgehill, I was trailing a lightning storm that was moving to the South East, when two balls of fire floating just above the tree line ahead of me came into view. After driving past the light at the intersection with VA-205, a third fireball came into view with the other two. They passed beyond sight behind the same treeline until I drove over Pine Hill Creek, where they came into view once more. This time, however, all three were on the opposite side of the road and were spotted through the trees. When I came to a clearing near the intersection of US-301 and VA-3, they had vanished. NOTE: The three fireballs took no obvious formation, though, anyone could make a triangle from three points on a plane.

Look like a star but was brighter that's what caught my eye had a red flicker. Looked like it was hovering around and was slowly drifting around multiple planes flew by it and it would move slightly away from the plane. You could tell this thing was really fast it made the planes look real slow.

I saw something fly across the sky last night as I drove north through a rural area of Route 301 in King George, Virginia. This craft was huge, was not moving very fast, and I couldn’t hear it make any noise. (I even opened my car window because I felt like I SHOULD be able to hear it. But I heard nothing but my own car.) About 3-5 minutes passed from the time I noticed it approach on my right until I couldn’t see it anymore on my left (trees in the way). This happened at about 10:10pm the night of April 23, 2015. I continued to drive as I watched it go by, not having a safe place at the time to pull over. (Unfortunately, the camera feature on my very old model of phone does not work. Darn it!) From my view this object seemed like a large rectangle. The shorter ends had white lights, three (or maybe more) across the front and at least two on the back with one red light blinking in the middle of the rear (between the white lights). The object seemed very large because of the diminishing perspective of the row of lights, which at first made it seem like it was tilted at an angle but then I realized it was actually a row of lights covering a long length (the way a long fence seems smaller and at an angle the farther away it is from the viewer). The two rows of lights remained equidistant from each other the entire time the craft passed by. (It was definitely NOT two planes flying in sync with each other, which my rational mind was trying to make work as an explanation.) It was dark in the area between the lights. Though I seemed to be able to see “sky” between the two rows of lights, I don’t remember actually being able to see stars. It was like a large rectangular piece of glass floating by with lights at both ends. If you have ever seen a large commercial plane landing, it seemed to be moving a little slower than that. It seemed to be flying parallel to the Potomac River on the Virginia side (crossing Route 301), maybe heading toward northern Virginia or Washington, DC. Size? I wouldn’t be surprised if this thing was at least 100 meters by 300 meters or so. VERY INTERESTING! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello. I reported a UFO sighting that occurred on April 23, 2015 in King George, Virginia. I was just taking a look at it, and for some reason it says King George, NC. I could have sworn I had entered "Virginia." The sighting occurred in King George, VA. I live in Winterville, NC. Just thought you might want your record to be accurate. Thanks. ((END ADDENDUM)) We finally amended the report on October 21st, 2015, with the posting of the above addendum, submitted on May 12, 2015. We apologize for the delay in correcting the report. PD

My wife and I were traveling westbound on Kings Highway in King George, VA, at roughly 38.277993, -77.209848 when to the west my wife and I both noticed several unusual objects in the sky. At first glance they looked like very short contrails but as we continued to observe them we noticed that they were stationary and not becoming longer like a contrail. I was driving and had to pay attention to the road but my wife says she counted 9 of these disc shaped objects before they disappeared one at a time. By the time she took pictures only two remained. I think in a couple of the pictures there are three of them. Not only did we see these objects to the west but we both saw one blinking orange star like object which was roughly to the south of our position at approximately 45 degrees (just taking a guess on that). I saw this object looking out the driver’s side window while still traveling westbound. It looked a lot like a very bright Mars but I am certain it was not a planet or an airplane. It was not quite dark yet and no stars were visible at that time. It was unlike anything I have seen in the sky before. I looked at it and it disappeared. It did not blink like an airplane and I wouldn't exactly say it pulsated. It was more like a slow steady blink with roughly 10-15 seconds between blinks until it just disappeared. It seemed stationary and I definitely believe it was in our atmosphere and not in space. I feel that the star like object was closer to us but it is very hard to tell.
