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.

At 8:02 PM on Monday July 24th 2023 while at my son's Little League baseball game, I noticed, initially 2 oddly shaped objects flying overhead from the south, the objects appeared over the tree line (for a moment I thought the objects were powered parachute type ultra-light aircraft however, I quickly realized they were moving too fast and maneuvering oddly), they were dark gray or black, they had definitive lines of structure to them. One appeared to be an inverted pyramid, or upside-down top, this object looked as though it were tumbling forward, then would rotate / spin, the next object (in trail) appeared cube/diamond like, with curved edges so that when rotated at times would appear to be almost spherical, exhibiting similar flight characteristics. At this point in time another parent and I made eye contact, she said "tell me I'm not the only one seeing this", (2 other parents also witnessed this event and all were perplexed). At this time the third object came into view, further to the west, appearing to be higher in altitude and moving faster. This object appeared to be similar to object #2, it gained on the first 2 objects and then held in a loose formation, the formation was somewhat similar to an isosceles triangle. I was able to get the attached pictures. Weather at the time at nearby Bradley International Airport is included in the attached screenshot of the ATIS information that was current at the time of the sighting. The fields this sighting occurred at are quite large, the area is flat with a good field of view, these objects transited the visible sky from roughly south to north within 45-60 seconds. There was no noise, no contrails, no lights of any kind. According to the attached screenshot of flightradar24 there were no aircraft correlating to the location of these objects or in their direction they were traveling (at least none utilizing a transponder). Initial report to NUFORC was made via phone shortly after sighting occurred.

I went out for a few minutes in my car to get fast food, and on my drive back home, I saw an orange light in the sky. It did not blink, but slightly pulsated. As far as size, it appeared slightly but noticably larger than stars and planets from my perspective. It moved slowly in the same direction as my car, then turned in an almost 90 degree angle, then turned again a few more times. I kept looking out my car windshield periodically until I arrived home and parked in front of my house. (The restaurant I went to is just about a minute away from my house). After I parked, I kept looking at the light from the driver's side window of my car, which was facing south. The light continued to move and change direction every few seconds. I saw that it was above the clouds, since clouds moving in front of it made it appear more hazy. (The next few sentences will sound cliche, and I understand, but it is the honest truth). I knew I had to get this sighting on camera. I frantically grabbed my phone, opened up the camera, and quickly looked back up to make sure it was there, but it had vanished. I got out of my car and looked up at the sky for a few minutes and scanned for the light, but I could not find it again.

Saw red/orange ball of light. Seemed like about 4 or 5 more lights appeared around red/orange light. One ball of light seemed to mover very fast straight up. Other 3 at different times seemed to mover very high then dart north at a very high rate of speed. Whole event seemed to last an hour.

Saw a reflective white or silver craft flying high in the sky at high speed. (Could not determine the shape clearly). It Did not leave a trail behind it as it moved. I was laying down in my house looking north out my bay window and suddenly sat up when I saw something moving across the sky. I saw up to watch the object fly by. It seemed very high up and was moving far too quickly to be any kind of commercial jet. Also, the fact that it didn’t leave any trail behind it was odd. It changed direction very quickly by about 30 degrees east of its original path, almost on a dime, and then disappeared over the trees. This was seen over the northeastern part of enfield. Almost into long meadow. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Object seemed a bit large and not a perfect shape as it was moving fast so hard to tell. It moved in an erratic pattern like it was jumping. It was bright white and flashed in a clear bright cloudless blue sky. It would disappear then flash again several times and then it just disappeared for good. Definitely not a plane. I could see this from interstate 91 south near the shopping mall. Saw this and it was just out of the ordinary so I had to go online to see if I could find anyone else that may have noticed it. My description is female, 40's with college degree. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
