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.

Several lights about 6 or 7 blinking red and appeared to be evenly spaced and and blinking in synchronized manner from right to left. Appeared to be all one solid piece by the blinking and spacing all moving evenly across the sky. Obtained some video of it. If lights were one solid object then this object was massive. Estimate about 300 yards across. Disappeared as it floated out of sight moving west toward Orange County Ca.

We were passing out candy for Halloween outside. In between passing candy out we were watching a video on my tablet while my wife was looking up at the stars. all of the sudden she noticed that there was something flying in the sky that was very dark and was Chevron shaped. She asked both of us what was that flying in the sky, so we looked up and all witnessed the craft flying. The sky was dark but the object was just slightly lighter grayish color so it was slightly visible. it was just bright enough so you can make the shape of it out but there were no lights and no sound. The object was flying southward over our house. We were all amazed at what we saw. About 15 to 20 minutes later my wife was in the backyard and witnessed yet again the object flying this time North. we have seen drones fly by before and you can hear the engines on those when they fly by but with this there was absolutely no sound and the shape was different. We are used to seeing milit! ary aircraft being close to the March air reserve Base and have seen a lot of planes flying at air shows so we know it was not a craft that we were used to seeing.

I saw a huge cluster of lights in the night sky shortly after 10:00 hours. It is difficult to estimate the size of the array but the majority of the "lights" - about 100-150 - were primarily multi-colored (not vivid but soft hues pink/yellow/green/light blues etc) with several white lights - 5-10 - that were much larger in size. The cluster was low on the horizon above the tree-line when I noticed it. My best estimate is that it was at least 2 or 3 miles across and 1 mile from top to bottom and 5-10 miles away, perhaps even 20 miles away. I stared for a few seconds before going inside my house to ask my wife to come take a look. I immediately realized the cluster was slowly descending below the tree-line and we could only see the upper portion. The array was still clearly visible and she witnessed it too. She went to get her mom from inside the house but the lights had descended out of sight from our viewpoint.

I was at lunch and heard the sound of a prop plane overhead. I work near the Perris Valley Skydiving center and the prop planes are making trips several times a day. (March Air Reserve Base is also within 5 miles of the location). As I looked directly overhead I watched the white plane slowly pass by in the clear blue sky. As it passed, I noticed a small group of what appeared to be white or metallic dots/spheres, which were above where the plane had just passed. The plane's altitude I would estimate was approx 1500 feet. My guess on the spheres would be 2500-3000 feet if not higher. I probably wouldn't have noticed them if they weren't in a modified triangular formation and moving apart but maintaining similar formation. I continued watching as they moved Northeast across the sky, at a relatively slow speed. Although they grew further apart they kept the triangular formation. All I had was my cellphone and I took several pictures and a somewhat grainy video as I tried to zoom in on the objects. My first thought was mylar balloons, until they kept formation as they moved in the sky. The event lasted about 5-10 minutes.
