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.

My boyfriend and I were riding our motorcycles back to the house shortly after dark we were coming down the hill about to make a left at the light and I saw an orange sphere go through the sky. And when I say through I don’t mean it was arched like it was outside our atmosphere but rather was flying in our atmosphere very close to land. There was no orange flame behind it it was a solid orange sphere nothing else came from it and it moves very quickly towards the horizon

Sitting outside & witnessed two circular shaped lights parallel to each other. One on top & one on bottom. Diagonal to each other. Lights were brighter than any star in sky. Slowly dimmed & faded away, didn't change position or move. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
