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 outside with my children and saw four lights in the sky. The objects appeared to be silver and three had white lights and 1 red. They moved about freely and moderately in speed. Two almost touched. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Possible]

It was round and bright going but three times faster than an airplane real smooth like going next to Columbia South Carolina Way cause when I seen it I was at 701 South Jamestown laundromat well coming up on it and I seen it about a quarter of a mile before I got to the laundromat they had no other lights flashing or blinking like an airplane does because I see helicopters and planes all the time with the lights flashing but this here had no lights flashing and it was a big round bright orb probably a few thousand feet above the tree line kind of look like if you see somebody’s light on a pole or somebody’s house but 100 times bigger kind of wet it resembles but really really bright ;;;

I was sitting on my porch and noticed a large orange orb floating in place around 1000 ft across the road. I walked out to the road to get a better look and the orb was producing multi colored rays of light now and was white in appearance. After 5 minutes it split into 4 orange orbs for a minute, then formed one orange orb again and started slowly moving toward the east out of sight.

On May 11, 2021 at 10:00 pm, I stepped out on my back porch for a second. I looked up and over the two story house facing west behind mine because something caught my eye. I saw two pulsating, glowing orange stationary spheres, one a bit lower than the other, as if they were floating. I watched for about fifteen seconds and then looked away to call my husband to come immediately. When I looked back they were gone. They made no sound at all. When my husband got outside I told him what I had seen. We waited about eight minutes and they reappeared again, but they were across Hwy 701 South and there were five of the orange spheres. One of these spheres then darted from right to left towards another one at a very high rate of speed and stopped just as quickly without touching the other sphere. On a clock the movement would have been from two to eight o'clock. No sound. Not pulsating or stationary and then disappeared. Within minutes a low flying plane flew over w! ith bright white landing lights on heading west to east towards Myrtle Beach International Airport. FAA tower supervisor was not able to tell me if any radio traffic confirmed my sighting. Will file a freedom of information application with the FAA. This occurred near a power company solar farm and high voltage power lines.

As I am driving east on Hwy 501 in Conway, SC towards Myrtle Beach, SC, 7:40 PM, a large formation of bright orb like balls formed a perfect elliptical shape. It rotated and maintained that shape while seeming to rotate along a perfect path. These orbs were about the distance of a low flying helicopter. Much too large to be drones. As it rotated, each orb disappeared one by one and it was gone.
