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.

My partner leaves for work around 4am most mornings. I moved to the living room and noticed the light shining through our big window was much too bright to be the average plane in the SDF flight path. Having been here a year, I have seen many planes on the SDF flight path go into and out if the city. This didn’t look quite like that. It had a large halo, almost like the ring that the moon gets on a misty night. The clouds were visible and moving behind the light. I checked my sky tracker to be sure it wasn’t a planet. It was not a planet. I chalked it up to being a plane, but it sat still for way too long to make sense as a plane, I went back to sleep after taking a few photos and it continuing to not move in the sky, but was unable to figure out what it was. We are on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Louisville Skyline and the highways. Without the leaves on the trees, our southbound view is pretty clear. Would be really interested to find out what would hover for that long and then be gone when I woke up again at 7am.

At first, I thought it was a helicopter that was on fire. The object was moving west to east and moving pretty quick. I was walking my dog and just kept staring at it. All of a sudden the object just stopped and I was kind of shocked and just kept staring and went inside my house to get my son. When I came back out the object was gone. Another strange thing is I heard no engines or noise. The object looked like it was on fire.

July 4th,2014 my Mother,Sister, Brother-in-law & myself witness "seven round orange shaped glowing objects" trailing one another traveling N/E though the night sky for our suburban neighborhood during the ☆ 4th of July fireworks ☆ around 9:40 pm. We viewed them for about 10-minutes until they vanished from the night sky. We then witnessed one more at 10:03 pm traveling from the N/W direction same shape, same size.

Northeast sky 3 reddish color lights hovered in a side-triangle formation. Two eventually "flew" toward the east in a sideways manner (very fast) and the 3rd one streaked downward and then hovered over a tree line - eventually lifted up and we thought possibly towards us, then slowly remained going upward and then away from us until out of sight. They did not get close enough for us to see any shape, other than 3 round lights - and they may have "pulsed" very slightly. My 1st time ever witnessing anything like this!! Objects may have been too far away to get picture with cell phone...
