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.

It was moving quickly but then just stopped as I noticed it? I started taking pics then recording. It was bright but then slowly dimmed. I decided to lookup info online. Here I am. Similar shape with the light as another UT sighting.

I was sitting in my hot tub looking at the night sky towards the south when I observed two bright triangles in the sky near the moon. One triangle was inverted over the other. They proceeded in a northerly direction merging together. They then appeared to become smaller and dimmer as if they were reaching outer atmosphere until they were no longer visible. Seemed to be tracking at same speed as I have seen satellites in the night sky.

Myself and another party saw a single, small light (with no sound) coming from the North, heading South, high up. It passed in such a short time across the entire skyline from North to South in about 20 seconds. It seemed to keep the same speed and direction with no variation.

Then I got distracted by calling my wife on my cell to come outside and then after I managed to take a photo and a short recording after they had gotten farther away. I would have recorded the whole thing if I hadn’t thought they were balloons to begin with. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There was at least 100 circular lights moving around. At first I thought they were balloons and was telling my wife to come take a look. 70% of the orb lights flew away slowly, and 10% came back and joined up with the group that hadn’t moved. Then they seemed to be getting closer to me and all spaced the same distance apart and got super shiny like the sun was reflecting off of them. That’s when I called my wife on my phone and then snapped a few photos. And a small recording. I would have recorded the whole thing if I hadn’t thought they were balloons.

We all saw the brightest yellowish/white light we have ever seen coming from the sky in a triangle shape from what looked like a black hole. It shined so brightly towards a big span of space on the empty hill side then suddenly took off so fast with what looked like a light illuminated trailing behind it however it was all extremely silent. The hill remained light and went from white to blue in color and illuminated and dusty every where for a bit after the object flew off. We followed it for a moment and it went higher than any plane in the sky and higher and higher until it disappeared leaving a bluish trail of illuminated light. The trail light is described as not like a rocket but as a illuminated trail or glow. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
