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.

While sitting out by the fire just after 8PM, I looked up to see two glowing orange lights flying over our house. There were three of us who saw them and we all agreed that they were distinctly orange in color. They appeared to be flying fairly low and very quickly. The first ones didn't seem to blink or flicker. There were no aerial navigation lights either red or green or white. They did not bob or weave. There was no noise associated with them. There were airplanes flying in other directions and we could hear noise from those but not from these objects. The first two flew parallel to one another and then seemed to curve slightly toward the south. They were coming from the the west and flying towards the east. We then looked up and coming over the crest of the house were three more of these flying lights. They were flying roughly in a triangle and again they were glowing orange with a steady light. As they disappeared behind the pine tree boughs (which in the attached video causes them to look like they're flickering out,) another one came over the house. Jupiter was visible, and bright, but these objects seemed to be very orange; and had a deliberate, swift movement on a trajectory. They did not float or drift. When we saw the first two lights, I didn't have the presence of mind to video. But when the second group of three came over I did have the presence of mind to pick up my phone. I did not zoom in however. When the lights seem to flicker that is them going behind the branches of the pine tree. And my phone is moving around as I try to track them in this video.

On an evening walk, I thought I saw a shooting star; however, when I stopped to look, it was a string of 10 lights—similar to the Earthlink formation but much shorter. These lights were moving across the sky in a band and rotating together from and angle to flat and then back to angle. About 45 seconds to a minute after spotting the light formation, the lights flickered out and completed faded or disappeared. I video recorded a portion of my sighting.

I was looking out my window, and saw whatever was in the sky. I'm not quite sure what it was it was an ongoing light not flashing. It was moving incredibly slow could barely tell that it was moving at all I have it on video. Then it started flying backwards didn't bother to make a U-turn or anything. And then randomly disappeared. It was terrifying the encounter lasted five minutes.

My husband and I were driving separate cars following each other on the highway and my 2 kids and I saw a large bright yellow ball in the sky for a couple seconds it was stationary and we were trying to figure out what it was when suddenly it moved straight down so fast like it was going to crash into the ground. We watched in awe shocked expecting to see smoke thinking it was a helicopter or a small plane but they would never appear stagnant or fly straight down like that as if in a super fast elevator but nothing happened. When I got home I asked my husband if he had seen the strange light in the sky and he had and had the same reaction we did about it. Out of this world gave us chills hoping someone else saw it . My kids were completely freaked out by it, my son now even afraid to sleep in his room at night thinking aliens are so close by. If anyone saw it or has video I would love to see it, I was driving and wasn’t able to record it my husband wasn’t able too either it happened so fast. At the speed it fell it appeared a crash was about to happen we had our windows up and music on so did not hear any outside noise. Hoping someone else did. Would like to know if someone knows more about it, if it crashed or what happened to it.

We were painting our garage floor, so we placed everything from our garage on the driveway and patio. I sat our ring camera on the deep freeze on the patio to watch our golfcart overnight. The camera was pointing west toward our driveway. I had never sat a camera outside like this before. My son and I went in and were talking upstairs when my phone alerted that there was motion about 15 minutes after we went in. My son and I clicked on the ring camera app on my phone, and we saw two synchronized light orbs come down from the sky. As the orbs came lower something darted at them (could have been a bird or bug) and then they shot down right in front of the deep freeze and some beach chairs that were up against it. After a couple of seconds, the orbs come back up, they pause and then fly directly over the camera. The video captured the sighting which lasted about 16 seconds from when it appeared to when they fly over the camera. This video is unlike anything anyone has ever seen. I showed a few people, and they could not explain it.

My sons were in the yard. They saw this gold- illuminated, flickering but not flashing, as if made of fire. No other lights....pure gold light. Moving quickly at first, then slowed and decreased altitude, then disappeared over the treeline behind our home. There was no sound whatsoever and I think at the decreased altitude, we would have heard some sort of sound. We heard nothing.
