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.

Headed out back to water the plants, I scan the night sky as always. Suddenly, appearing as if from a cloud, a centipede like, segmented, well lit with a green hue, each segment sort of square. Rounded front and rear. Appeared segment by segment until a full, long craft appeared then seemingly "flowed by" for about 7 seconds, disappearing towards the slight southeast, segment by segment. It was oddly low in the sky, I could see the stars above it. I see many small planes in our local skies with an airport roughly a mile from my home. They fly low and they were in the sky at the same time tonight. This was clearly hundreds of yards above at most, and enormous. Wide, but longer. Kind of like a bunch of train car bottoms lit up green, with some additional patterns, from underneath, but flying silently above me. It had to be seen by others. Brief, but enormous and well lit. Terrifically bright against the sky in the background. So low anyone outside looking up at that moment surely witnessed it as well. I clearly, rationally viewed this UAP directly above my home in Upland Ca this night of 8/07/2023. I've always believed, have often watched the skies and now have been completely blown away, as if witnessing a dream sequence so realistic. But, I have never dreamed of seeing a UAP. I was watching it live. I now know for sure. Could have been nothing else but a flying craft. A fucking, flying , unidentifiable craft appearing briefly in the sky. Truly magnificent and mind blowing.

The bright circular shape was traveling at moderate speed in a eastern direction. The object began to slowly dim within approx 1 min as we lost sight. Approximately 1 minute later, the object reappeared but was not as bright and was now traveling in a southeast direction. We lost sight as the object continued to move away and was obstructed by our three story homes.

From North/West corner I observed a round/ oval object on the sky above either Pomona or Chino. The object was really hi and could not be a plain or helicopter nor a jet. It moved so fast East and it was gone.

“Ok, so I’m sitting in my backyard right now, Upland Ca, near the San Antonio Hospital, just finished watching the Davis/Garcia fight. I have my lights off here out back just having my first beer of the night. Well, I decided to just look up into the night sky, just staring at stars, wondering about what’s really out there. Mind you, I’ve been on this really weird, needing to know more knowledge type of deal lately, recently just bought Einsteins Theory of Relativity, his Ideas and Opinions book. Those just came in the mail, but I’ve been reading currently, J Allen Hyneks “The Hynek UFO Report”. I’ve just been really really intrigued by UFO/UAPs lately, with all this talk going on right now, and I’ve always been into the phenomenon since I was a kid. I looked up into the night sky, now, who knows what it could’ve been, but it was a VERY VERY dim lighting, blended into the night sky almost, 3 Circles in a triangle and just gliding very smoothly and effortlessly across the sky, no sound at all, but who knows how high up it was. I will definitely draw what I saw and post it, and I’ll post pics of where I was sitting and towards where I was looking. But immediately I texted my wife to tell her what I saw and immediately opened up my Flight Radar app, and there was nothing around that would be flying on radar, no planes or helicopters, Mind you I live by the hospital and I hear the helicopters come in and out all the time, the Upland airport isn’t too far from me also. But this wasn’t anything that had any type of jet engine, or any propulsion system (at least from what I couldn’t hear). Who knows, could’ve been a drone? But I’d imagine I’d here the little rotors goin as it fly over me? Definitely weird, mind you, there are no current winds here in Upland Ca, so it could not have been a balloon flying that fast, for those balloon enthusiasts, nice try. It was very weird indeed. I didn’t even think about recording until now that I’m writing this, but it was so dim the camera probably wouldn’t have picked it up, I could barely keep track of it before it got lost over the horizon of my neighbors houses/trees. Current time 22:19 4-22-23, id say I saw this around 2200? If you’re in Upland, keep your eyes open! Edit: does anyone that may be around Upland Ca know where we could report something like this? Or anyone know anywhere? If this really is a UFO and we as a collective are trying to gather research info I feel like this needs to be reported to the appropriate place. Edit: it is 22:44 and there were two tremendously loud explosions here in Upland Ca near me. I don’t know if it was fire works or not but the timing of what I saw and to the explosions is weird. I know my neighbors app is going to go crazy right now, may not be related at all but I thought I’d keep you guys updated, I’ll post screen shots of my Ring app if anyone figures out what those explosions were Edit 3: I have reported this sighting on the MUFON website” 4-23-23 the object was big enough for me to define the shape and what it looked like, but small enough to where during the flight path, this object fit in between the tree on my left and right, if that makes sense?

Our motion was triggered on our camera at 4:04am and caught a video of a white object (looks like a frisbee shape) dart into our back yard and hover in one spot with beams above and below it. Our camera stopped at 23 seconds because it stops recording if motion stops.

Same as above. The thing itself did not move and appeared to hover. I took several pictures.
