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.

Approx 11PM EST I witnessed a circular grouping of high altitude white orbs at a speed I have never seen I have experienced many Meteor showers and meteors breaking up and leaving trails and hearing sonic booms. I have never seen such an organized grouping traveling this fast and staying in formation.

I was out walking my dog, like I do every night at this time, and as I was coming up on the field that we frequent, I noticed an intensely bright flash of light in the sky. It was blue, initially, and it lit up the surrounding area with a dim glow, and almost immediately, it changed to yellow and shot off, leaving the clouds a mixture of purple and red for a while. The whole thing happened in the course of maybe 5 or 6 seconds, but the sky had something of a visual residue for about 20 seconds afterward. The strangest part, however, was that the siren of a nearby police car sounded off, weakly, as though it was activated without receiving enough power, right as this whole situation occurred. And, since your form has a specific option for animal reaction, I feel it's important to note that my dog behaved much more cautiously than he usually does for the rest of our time outside, never leaving my side for more than a few moments.

Three circular bright (lighted, or reflecting light) objects seeing over Middletown Ohio. One was high in the northeastern sky, one was high in the north western sky, the third halfway down to horizon in the northwestern sky. They were stationary, not blinking, remained visible for 15 Minutes until obscured by clouds. The color is what one would expect it to be if light was being reflected by a Chrome object. Witnessed by two adults (former business owners), one mid 60s (a pilot for 41 years), one mid 50s.

April 16th 2019. About 8 PM before sunset. My Girlfriend and I saw an object traveling west off to the left of the sun, at about the Ten O'clock position. It was bright yellow ball with two streams of white smoke coming off the sides like wings. Flying in a straight line. This lasted about 5 mins. until it went over the tree tops past the horizon. It looked like it was either was going to hit the earth or flying the curvature of the earth. I thought it was an Asteroid. I have never seen anything like it.

I captured this object and hurried to used my iPhone and zoomed as best I could. I estimate it was at least 1000 feet up and moving in a perfectly straight line, due North. I thought it might be a bird until I saw it was a spherical shape that was collapsing then reshaping to a sphere again, over and over. Solid black. I also thought it might have been a tumbling trash can lid, but it kept constant altitude and a perfectly straight path. I watched it all the way to at least Trenton until I could see it no more. I have a link to the video in a DropBox folder. The video is unedited and straight from my iPhone 5c.
