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 in my yard with my parents we noticed a round, silver, craft in the sky to our North. It was moving East at a steady speed with no noise. After moving East in the sky for roughly 45 seconds (from when we first noticed it) it made a 90 degree turn south towards us before making a second 90 degree turn back to it’s original path East. It disappeared behind clouds a few seconds later.

There were 3 of us that saw the object during the entire time, roughly 45 seconds. We exited our home into our front yard when we noticed a silver circular craft moving East at a steady speed but there was no sound. It was moving East for about 20-25 seconds and then made a 90 degree turn South without changing speed. After about 10 seconds it made a second 90 degree turn back towards its original East direction before disappearing behind clouds. It did not appear on the far side of the clouds. I was able to film the craft using my phone, but I was having trouble keeping it centered so I stopped filming.

Had to pull over once I seen what was in the sky! 7 unexplained lights! At one point, there were several more, almost looked like glitter in the night sky! Or like a fairy sprinkled fairy dust! But they were gone just as fast as they appeared! [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

The objects were a line of approximately 7 to 10 pulsating lights arranged in a straight line. The spacing between the lights was not uniform. They would pulse of and on, then disappear completely for several seconds before reappearing. They reappeared approximately 6 times before completely disappearing. They were almost due north about 20 degrees up from the horizon from my position in my hot tub. They were moving very slowly from west to east and were never all illuminate at once, although I did observe more than one light illuminated at time, perhaps 3 to 4 simultaneously. The string length was maybe 5 degrees and the lights appeared white to the naked eye. The sighting lasted for approximately one and a half minutes before disappearing completely. They appeared to be quite high in the atmosphere. You should be able to confirm the date, time and location to determine if this was a indeed a starlink satellite. There did not appear to be any rocket activity. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I was in my backyard at about 1:45 AM with my dog and I always look up at the stars to find certain constellations, the moon, shooting stars, etc. This time I noticed what I first assumed was a helicopter hovering in the western sky. But it was much higher up than helicopters usually are and seemed too big to be a helicopter and there was no sound coming from it. I could not really tell the shape of the craft because it was dark out. I could only see the lights, some of which were blinking. There were at least 3 lights, white, blue and red which made me think it was a law enforcement helicopter but again, too big and too high. I watched it for about 30 seconds to a minute and then turned to go back inside my house, then looked back and it was gone. I had looked away for exactly 5 seconds because I have a trail camera set up on my patio to take 10 second videos of wildlife triggered by a motion detector and it captured videos of me and my dog while we were in the yard. So I can see exactly how long it was from when I looked away to when I looked back and couldn't see the object anymore. I don't know if flew off at a high rate of speed or simply turned off its lights. If I had to guess at the shape of the object I would say it looked cylindrical like the body of a large commercial jet without the wings. I can only go by the lights which were at different heights and beside each other which suggests the craft had width and height. It was too far away to judge the depth so it could have been disc shaped. The lights did not shift with regards to each other so they were all in fixed position on a single object. From where I was standing in my backyard the object was in the western sky above the hill known as Glassford Hill but I really don't know if it was directly over the hill or farther west over Prescott. I don't know how long it was there before I noticed it, but I only watched it for about a minute, then looked away for 5 seconds, then looked back and it was gone. It was clear night sky and I could see all the usual stars and constellations, no clouds. I do recall hearing a brief distant roar that I thought was a jet of some sort but it was too brief and did not coincide with the sighting of the object. But I remember that sound puzzled me as well and I just thought I would mention it. I don't know if it had anything to do with this object or not. My memory of the sound is not as clear as the craft sighting memory. I believe I heard the roar a bit before noticing the object.

There was one craft. it popped into view, hung in the air for about 40-50 seconds, then sped off toward Phoenix. There was one main red light and two sets of smaller lights that moved along the bottom of the craft. There was a low humming sound almost unnoticed.
