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 sitting at the pier on the beach having a bonfire. There was a group of 6 of us, the 2 of us that were sitting at the fire both saw the same thing at the same moment. The light of the fire drowned out any other stars and the clarity of the night sky. All of the sudden it looked like a shooting star but there was 4 perfectly aligned lights spaced all evenly, and they were bright, but perfect bright sphere lights unlike anything I have ever seen. These lights were significantly brighter than any star in the sky that night by a huge margin. The line of lights was above the horizon line of the Pacific Ocean and shot across a small portion of the sky and disappeared in mid air within a matter of a split second. We both looked at each other in disbelief of what we had just witnessed.

Toward the NE, what looked like a falling star at first, instead of fizzling out, fluidly zig-zagged off into the distance. 3 more incidents in the same field of view followed within tbe next four minutes or so. Each incident persisted only seconds, but the last three didn't appear to fall first, just swooped in large arcing zigzag motions. Not dramatice, just looked like stars suddenly mobilized. Interestingly, there were two visible planes in the sky, whose seeming sluggishness amplified the speed of these objects. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I saw a orangish, yellow white orb. It had 8 spikes like those of the points of a compass. I was able to snap a photo, which I do have. I feel con tried to get a video of the event but, it vanished before my eyes. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be sincere and sober-minded. PD
