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.

I was 15 years old never touched any alcohol or drug at that time. I was sitting outside on the steps in my backyard facing the street. It was a beautiful summer day and I had noticed when I came out to sit on the steps that there were no clouds in the sky at all. As I was sitting there I noticed a shadow moving in front of me and I looked up above me to see what was making the shadow and saw nothing. The shadow was rectangular in shape the size of two cars side by side and it followed the curve of the road. I looked up again to make sure that there wasn't a cloud or a plane or a helicopter but there was nothing and no sound of anything. It was silent and I watched it follow the road down as far as I could see it go. It was after the shadow had gone that my neighbor came out and asked me what was wrong and I told him.

It was about midnight 10/20/15 in Massachusetts and the object was headed N NE. It appeared to have debris falling and burning and went as far across the sky as I could see. We have investigated whether the object might have been a re-entering satellite, but none were recorded for that date. We express our gratitude to Ted Molczan, an amateur satellite-tracker in Canada, for the satellite information. PD

When my iphone warned me for low battery, I had to get plug from the car. I wish I bring iphone with me, but it is just happened (too late) I went outside and looked at the sky, I noticed lights, I thought it was a plane but the way it looks didn't make any sense to me. It does not match any aircrafts I know. I had to see/study those lights until it went down below the tree line. It was 5 bright light orbs, not like plane light. That is different. The dots were in group flying toward East. I was looking at East. The color of lights are white-yellow. It was short sighting.
