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.

Traveling on Rte. 209, it was rainy and foggy on the the road. From a distance I saw a bright twinkling light. When I got closer to it, I pulled over. I was not exactly underneath it, but close. There were 2 rows of white lights. Between the rows of white lights was a row of blue lights that stuck out farther than the white ones. I turned my music off, opened my window. I did not hear a sound. These lights were underneath this object. And it was still. It was no longer bright and twinkling. The object was not that high in the sky. Maybe 3 large tree's high. About 30 seconds later it just took off.

Just over the tree line I saw what looked like a few lights in a changing configuration. The lights went from yellow to green. Sometimes lighting in a sequence then going out completely. It hovered a distance away. It wasn't a plane I had seen planes pass near it and above it. It looked slightly oval but had a t formation with the lights changing color. After several minutes it slowly moved to the west until it was behind the mountain tree line. It was a cold clear night.

I thought it might be a star but there were none around and it was the only thing there shining brightly. Venus? PD

Bushkill, PA
At 8:45 pm on March 30, 2016, I witnessed a bright Diamond or Star shaped object in the sky. It flew at a very low altitude. It did not have any type of lights such as normal aircraft, plus we live in a no fly zone so usually you can see aircraft moving in the distance but not over our house ever. The object was very bright and traveled west in the southern sky before turning and traveling north. The object remained at a slow speed, omitting no sound during the entire occurrence. When my wife started flicking on and off our exterior light, The object hovered for a few seconds in one spot then began to accelerate and rise into the sky until it looked like a distant star then faded out to nothing. Both my wife and I witnessed this type of craft and movement on numerous occasions in this area but this is the most recent occurrence.

One big light pulsating and moving in small, random circles and one small light staying still but slowly blinking.
