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 saw this as I took a photo of the blood moon. Zoomed in noticed the object but it was gone about 5 minutes later when I tried to take a second photo.

I was talking to my brother on my cell phone on my front porch with my wife. I looked up to the stars and off to the left I noticed dozens of lights moving rapidly in a straight line and disappearing at what seemed like the same fixed point in the sky. (I later told my wife I wonder if they were disappearing into an invisible or unseen "mothership") I told my wife and we both watched for a minute or so as I attempted to tell my brother what we were seeing. A moment later my wife went inside to tell our older son. They came out to watch the last dozen or so lights disappear at the same spot in the sky. All of the lights seemed to be the same brightness traveling in almost a straight line but not perfectly. The closest thing I could relate it to would be if a stationary aircraft were to shoot tracers in the sky at something else in the sky and the tracers burnt out at the exact location without fading out but instantly extinguishing at the same point! in the sky and the "tracers" did not fall due to gravity in fact they seemed to follow a very straight path. I have been in Marine Corps aviation for 20 years and have flown in large formations but never in a straight line like that. I was a crew chief on CH-46's and MV-22's and performed air to ground and air to air gunnery and we would never shoot air to air in any possibly populated area.

I’m a night owl. I go to bed at about 5 am every morning. I spend a lot of time outside at night looking at the stars. There was one really bright star that I looked at a good amount that night and was wondering what it was called, or if it was a planet. At about 6 am, my dog demanded to go out and the sun was just starting to come up. It was light enough out that only the very brightest stars were still visible. As I’m looking at that one bright star I had been staring at all night, I noticed that there was a second one over to the right of it that wasn’t there before. While I’m watching this second really bright star and wondering where it came from, it started to look like it was moving, but it didn’t have any blinking red lights on it like an airplane does. Then it suddenly got a lot brighter and just disappeared. Have you ever seen an incandescent light bulb when it has a power surge? How it gets really bright for a second right before it burns out? It was like that, but just an orb of light. I have no idea how large it was. It looked just like a bright star. It could have been something large very far away or something smaller that was much closer. When it vanished it didn't shoot across the sky or move noticeably, it was just gone. It kind of just winked out after it pulsed. It was no shooting star (which I did also see that night) and I live right outside an air base, so I’m used to planes flying overhead literally all the time and it was not that either. It was still and looked just like a star until it moved a little, pulsed brightly, and was gone. I am a former intelligence analyst for the Drug Enforcement Administration. I have spent many years working in law enforcement and was born and raised in the military. I have never before seen any sort of UFO. Possible Iridium satellite "flare? PD
