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.

My wife and I were enjoying the sunset around 5:35pm on January, 31 2022 when we noticed a bright white dot in the sky. We were looking eastward toward a peak called Lone Peak in the Wasatch Mountain range. The only land behind our home is BLM land with no buildings or lights just mountain terrain and high desert vegetation so we had a clear unobstructed view of this. We thought it was a star at first but the time of day seemed too early for a star to be so visible and bright. We watched it for several minutes and observed that there appeared to be two dots with one stationary and the other appearing to orbit the other or move side to side either in front or behind. As the sunset progressed the colors changed on the peaks but the object just stayed in the same place so we had a pretty good idea that this object was stationary and not moving with the orbit or movement of the sky. We watched this for about 20-25 minutes then the lights got dimmer and two smaller lights appeared below the center object so now there were 3 separate lights lined up vertically and they all got dimmer and dimmer then disappeared. That’s all we saw and for the next 45 minutes we continued to look in the same direction hoping to see something else but only to see Orion appear in the night sky. It was great!

I went out to sit in the hot tub at about. 5:00 am. I finally looked up and saw this parade of lights at high altitude going from NW to SE. They were traveling far enough where I could see 3 at a time. When the first one would fade away I looked for another. And there was. I don't know if I saw the beginning or not but I got up to 10 and could see no more. Evenly spaced out, Straight line. No variation from one to the next. It seamed like they were spaced out 35 seconds. But whatever it was, it was consistent from one to the next.

A pair of golden orbs rose in formation from the point of the mountain area and ascended going east into a cloud base. This was followed by 5 additional golden orbs that moved east and ascended into the cloud bases. None of these objects had any standard navigation colored lights.

Each disappeared at a time into overcast approximately 4,500 feet base near the east end of Suncrest. My son, wife and I all observed this from our driveway in Draper. None of the objects had any aircraft type navigation lights or beacons on them.
