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.

I was walking for exercise on long deck outside, facing a full moon to the south, behind trees. Above my right shoulder I suddenly saw a very bright "star" -- a little larger than Venus and much brighter -- shoot across the sky (north to south) and disappear behind the trees. During the few seconds it was visible, it stayed exactly the same size, shape and brightness (no flickering out, no trailing or streaking) with uniform speed and a perfectly straight path parallel to earth. Normally I would assume it was a "shooting star" but its brightness was more like intense LED white. I have never seen a meteor display that type of white light. Also that it didn't vary, flicker, or burn out, or leave a trail. It just disappeared behind the trees. Although it was very fast, it seemed slower than a meteor. It seemed to last too long.

I was at work, the sun had just went down and the sky was clear when noticed a large light low in the sky not very far from me it was not making any sound and was hovering in one spot. It was way to large to be a drone It was difficult to tell if it was round or egg shaped. The lighted object was solid white with no other colors. There was a smaller lighted object further back to the S of first light. I took a short video and some pictures. After a few minutes the first object began moving slowly to the S. Another small aircraft with blinking lights and making noise like an airplane flew close to the first object and that's when it began to move. I left work 15 minutes later. While on hwy I saw same object again at the same low altitude hovering possibly over the Skycomish river. I saw 3 different crafts in the sky at same time, one being an airplane.

3 or 4 ships ..blinking and fading in and out..they changed positions from a triangle to a straight line ..one above the other and the top one moved to the right and slowly off blinking like an airplane and faded away and came back to the group and repeated the move. The others would kind of circle around and come back into the triangle form and line up again. This went on for 20 minutes or more. The color was bright gold and again they faded in and out.

Noticed an orange ball of light which appeared to be moving in a zig zag pattern. Then it appeared to ascend straight up. Then the craft went dark and appeared as a black dot in the sky, and moved in a straight line until we could no longer see it. Shorty after the object was no longer visible we both heard a high pitched ringing that we could not attribute to anything else.

My husband and I were enjoying the evening in our balcony. As I was looking up at the stars, I noticed what seemed to be a Chevron object, almost with a infrared glow, coming at a very fast rate. My husband quickly saw it. It made no noise and left no trail. I'm going to guess it was about 2,000 feet up. It moved past us and then we saw a ball of light and it was gone . I have been searching local sites since last night,in Hope's that someone else saw it as well.
