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.

Woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, noticed a bright light coming through the window of the bathroom which was located on the second floor. No light ever shines through that window, there are no street or flood lights in that area. When I looked out the window, I saw an extremely bright white light in the sky, unmoving, at about roof level, approximately a half mile away from the house. It seemed to be in the shape of a diamond with rounded edges. The way the light pulsated reminded me of the way light ripples across water. I had no idea what I was looking at. I could clearly see the stars above this object. It was definitely not a star or planet, it was much closer and larger than the stars appeared. My phone was charging downstairs, so I went to get it so that I could photograph the object. When I returned to the bathroom, as I entered, the light quickly went out. This occurred before I could get back to the window. When I looked out again, there was nothing. I have no idea what this was, or if anyone else saw it.

Not sure if it was a planet but definitely not a star. Saw a half circle light in the sky to the west towards the town of Easton, MA. It didn't move that I could see. The night before 2/23/17 was in almost the same place except it looked different. It seemed to have a small light on top elongated light in the middle and another round light on the bottom. Again it didn't seem to move. I'm emailing a picture I took on 2/24/17. On 2/23/17 I didn't get a picture. I truly believe in UFO's & the possibility that they could be intelligent life observing Earth and humanity but to what extent baffles me and worries me. If this turns out to be Venus or some other planet, at least I did my part. Probably a sighting of Venus, we suspect. PD

On the night of Aug 20th approx. 11pm, I was on my back porch with a friend hanging out observing the sky, when my friend said hey what is that. We both observed what looked like an orange light traveling from SE to NW. The sky was clear of clouds and there was a bright moon. As the craft approached us, I grabbed my Iphone to record video and my friend grabbed my binoculars. He couldn't zero in on the object fast enough to get a good look but I got it on video for the duration of the event. Right away, we both thought it was a drone, but when it traversed such a great distance at a relatively fast speed we were convinced it was not a drone. There were no aviation lights on the craft, and it was a dark orange in color; it almost had a pearl type glow to it. Meaning the color kind of had a swirl to it. It was shaped sort of like an egg on it's side. There was no noise and it appeared to be pretty close and low in the sky although it was difficult to tell with no clouds to judge altitude. My friend who is also an avid sky watcher said it resembled a rocket launch, so we right away started researching any launches for that night and there was none. It wasn't a star, meteor, plane, drone or helicopter. We were both amazed at what we were seeing and could not believe our eyes. Thank goodness I was with a witness and got video of the event.

At 2 am from 3am, there was small light spheres heading north by the dozens through a thick cloud cover just heading in the same pattern direction, one after another some lights were brighter then some. On flew in a triangle pattern. i cant stress enough of how this was a fleet this wasnt like one or two spheres of light it was 50 to 100 easly flying above a thick cloud cover.but there was holes in the clouds where you could see ufos flying in one pattern form like they had a course set with no stop. Not only was the fleet a sight to see but the way after this fleet had passed the cloud cover passed after all ufos passed it was instantly a clear night.
