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.

Was taking pictures of the sky, while I noticed a bright light that was going dim, and then very bright again. The flying object began to hover in the sky without making any noise whatsoever. Next up several more smaller began to fly sporadically around the larger object, I originally saw. That is when they begin to go in directions that made absolutely no physical sense. I was unable to notice shape, changing of the primary object going from round hexagonal, and then to a sphere it had rotating lights, and then More became to follow flying by as if they were shooting stars, but they would return upward towards the original object. It wasn’t long after that we as a group saw airplanes, trying to go in the direction of where these objects were, but unable to keep up with them. This is all caught on video.

October 2, 2023 at 9:44pm CST: While looking at the stars I noticed an object stationary in the sky. I watched as it changed forms and rose higher without sound. This object went from what appeared to be a bright star, to several balls of light bright white then changing to a disc. This was then followed by many other objects smaller but similar in shape flying around the primary disc. These objects were flying In unexplainable ways, sideways then upwards then diagonal. This was witnessed by me, Brian Edward Griffin and my Sister Tara Swanson as well as my 3 nieces. We then witnessed airplanes flying towards this objects, the UAP’s would then disappear then reappear after the planes had passed. One object appeared to land behind what we call Welcome Mountain. A very large hill with a sign that says Welcome. This event went on for over half an hour.
