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 saw two triangle shaped craft trailing an aircraft. There were 5 lights in the shape of a triangle along the bottom. They both made a 45 degree turn and disappeared into clouds

For the last 3 weeks, I have seen an object over the Vincennes area… It isn't there every night, but most nights...usually white in color, but sometimes red or orange… I have asked others at work if they have seen it and several have been seeing it as well.

I was standing out back as usual just taking a break from care planning to get some fresh air and love star gazing when I noticed a red and white light that I thought was simply the abrupt, flashing of a passing airplane. However, something about the pattern seemed more controlled, deliberate, and smooth. It moved even slower across the night sky than what you would see normally with an airplane. There wasn’t any real consistency about the way it moved though. It wasn’t moving in a straight line. I continued to observe it go by until I could no longer see it past my house’s roof top. This lasted for about 9 or so minutes. It was just a few minutes later that an unlit object moved rapidly back from exactly the direction I had just seen the lit object disappear to go right back to where I first noticed the prior object before vanishing. I don’t know if it was the same object or a different one, but I saw two totally separate events happen just moments apart. I know this needed to be shared. I sought out somewhere to do so, and as much thought as I’ve put into trying to make sense of something so seemingly simple, I know what I saw wasn’t of this world.

On the way home from Evansville my girlfriend was driving, I was in the passenger seat. Her friend was asleep in the back seat. We were just about to get into Vincennes, when we both saw an odd blue light up ahead on the road. We both assumed it was a cop car. I thought it was a light on top of the regal construction building till the light kept moving in flashes toward us till it was eventually over the field, parallel to the right side of the highway. As the light moved past us with each blink it picked up a considerable amount of speed exceeding any aircraft I have seen and I recently saw the blue angels perform in Evansville. The lights appeared to be approxamtely 100 feet from ground level and did not appear to be attached to anything, though it was very dark in the area and again, the light kept blinking and was very hard to focus on as each blink only lasted maybe a tenth of a second. We watched the light pass us and go over the fields heading south toward Princeton/Evansville. We had not been drinking or consuming any drugs. I thought I may be seeing things till my girlfriend confirmed she saw the exact same object.
