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.

The object had yellowish white lights. It was about midday, so I don't think it was a satellite. It was moving slowly at first but then accelerated.

The object was longer than the jets that often fly over our property. What caught our attention was the brightness of the white and how slowly it moved. My best guess an altitude of approximately 15 to 20K feet. Attempting to photograph it, it was difficult to get focus. Even though we could see it clearly, it was not clear on the phone camera. Our best description is that of an airplane with multiple tail fins and no wings. It did not make any sound. Flights go over us at 30k feet often, but you can hear them. This was silent.

Approx. 12 yellow fireballs were observed. Shooting up from the west horizon to the northwest up high. The first 4 made a square then one would fade off and another would shoot up and join the others and make a triangle, then one would fade off and others would come up and make more of an arrow. My sister and I saw it and I grabbed my cell phone and took some video. When I uploaded the video to my desktop and larger screen you could see a cylindrical shaped object down below the lights that we could not see with the naked eye. We were surprised to see it. We first thought it might be Chinese lanterns but clearly there was control over the fireballs to make the patterns. We thought maybe drones, but then what was the cylindrical shaped object. There was no sound at all. I reported it to one of our news stations and they said they had several reports but were blaming it on the Starlink satellites that were launched on Thursday. These were not the Starlin! k satellites that appear in a straight line. Very strange and would love to hear a logical explanation.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gb38aylbes15yp/20210410_214642no%20audio.mp4?dl=0 Above is a link to the video. On April 10, 2021, between 9:30 and 10:00 pm I went outside to make my dog come in. To the south west of me, I could see these bright yellow fireballs, about the size of tennis balls, launching up from the horizon to just west of me. Four launched and made a square pattern. I ran in the house and got my sister and grabbed my cell phone and started the video. There were 3 fireballs making a triangle, and then one would fade and go out and another one would join them. It happened several times that one would fade out and others would join. There were approximately 12 fireballs that launched. When I went inside and looked at the video on my phone, I could see that there was something down below the yellow lights. I couldn’t make it out so I uploaded to my desktop and big monitor, and I was shocked to see the cylinder shaped object down below the lights. It was not visible with the naked eye. It was really dark that night, but I had no idea that cylinder was up there. I am a 62 year old female real estate broker. I’ve been in the business for 18 years, and I have owned my own brokerage for 16 years. I had a computer company prior to that. My sister is 68 years old and works at an oil and gas leasing company, and has had the same job for about 23 years. Tinker Air Force Base is not far from us. My first thought is always the military. I have asked all my military and pilot friends and they are also at a loss. I have always believed in UFOs, but can’t say I have seen one till now. Afterwards, it gave me a pretty creepy feeling to know this one was so close. Is it another country spying on us? I did go to the space.com website to see if anything launched on that day and time, and I could find nothing. I sent it to KFOR, one of our local TV stations, and the only reply that I got was that they had a lot of people calling in, but he attributed it to the Starlink Satellites that launched the Thursday before. I am familiar with those, and this was nothing like it. At least that did tell me other people were calling in. I really don’t think he even looked at my video. I did send it to MUFON and an investigator called me and is checking into it. If our government does not know about these things, then I think they should be made aware. This just happened right before they were showing the Navy film of the UFOs on the news. I made me start looking at the UFO videos on line and with the number of videos and sightings out there, I would think we should be a little more concerned about this then climate change. Please take a look and any information that you may have regarding what this might be, I would love to hear it.

Was standing outside in backyard with the dog. Looked up in the sky, south and west of Mars, I saw two positions that at first I thought were distant stars. Then the brightness of them increased in intensity and they were extremely bright and white, no blinking or other colors. After fifteen or twenty seconds, they began to fade and as they were fading, they to go up and away, out of sight as fast as they appeared.

It is a perfectly sunny day today. There is not a cloud in the sky. My kids and I were at our neighborhood pond, about to walk back home, when both my daughter (6.5 years old) and I noticed something in the sky. She noticed it first and said “Mom what is that thing?” At first I thought it was a plane, because it was silver in the sky. Then I realized it wasn’t a plane. There were no wings on it, wasn’t leaving any type of trail behind it, and was lower in the sky. This UFO was flying about helicopter height. My next thought was that it could be a helium balloon that was silver, however this flashed in the light reflection of the sun so bright that I thought there was no way it could be a balloon. We tried watching it, but no sooner than we were figuring out what it was, it moved forward and then literally disappeared. Like out of thin air, seemed to disappear. My daughter said it looked like there were two black “antennas” on it on the front, however I did not notice that. We kept searching in the sky for a sign of it after it vanished, but could find nothing.
