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.

As I was driving home from work I noticed a bright light in the sky that didn’t look like a typical airplane. The light was orange and looked like it coming closer to me as it was growing larger. It disappeared for a second and when I saw it again it was flying across the night sky and a large tail was coming from the object. The tail was a bluish white color and it was moving horizontally and up slightly. After a few minutes I lost sight of the object as it entered some clouds.

We were seating in front of the house something we never do. As we were talking I was looking up it was windy and cloudy next thing you know 3 big white lights appear on V shape formation heading south on a 190 heading. They were very big and you can see all 3 through the clouds until they split and were gone.

On March 20, 2018, at 10:15pm, in Wellington, Florida, I was walking my dog in the neighborhood. As I looked up at the star filled sky toward the east, I noticed a red light sitting in one place almost straight up (1:00 o’clock setting). I watched the object for 10 minutes with no movement what so ever as planes flew high overhead and low overhead not far from Palm Beach International airport. This object was miles high and pulsing a red light every other second. Suddenly two red beams came out of the object east and west some hundred yards from the object but they traveled equidistant from the centered object and stopped. Then the light pulsed blue and the object moved over to the east a bit further, hovered for another 3 or 4 minutes and then just disappeared. No weather balloon does that type of movement nor does it send out a microburst of light side to side that stops. A helicopter cannot go that high, ever! There was no sound.

The object again stopped and did not move again for the remainder of the time l was outside. Just before going back inside l saw another one farther away traveling north east a short distance from where the first one stopped. The sky was exceptionally clear without any clouds. There were also commercial planes flying, and l could distinctly tell the difference as well as the objects were a great distance farther in the sky in comparison to the planes. I'm in my late 40's and this is my first sighting. I was skeptical about UFO's until today. l'm a believer now.
