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 the craft in the sky from a distance. It caught my attention from the way it was flying. I could tell almost immediately that it wasn’t a plane or helicopter or any other kind of aircraft that you would “normally” see flying in the sky. It was black and disc shaped. It flew across the sky at a normal pace that a helicopter would for example. Then suddenly it just stopped and hovered in place for a moment. Probably 20 to 30 seconds. Then just shut up into the sky at an incredible speed. It parted the clouds on its way up. As I watched it I didn’t blink once, it definitely irked me. Before it shot up, it almost seemed that the craft rotated and then ascended up. But it was so fast I can’t be sure.

4 red glowing spheres were seen in the vicinity of I - 595 near Hiatus Rd. in Davie / Plantation. The first pair were at an altitude of 1,000 ft. heading East. The next pair appeared roughly around 8:50 p.m., at a much higher altitude proceeding to travel in the direction of Sawgrass Mills Mall.

First saw (with naked eyes) object in the northern sky. Object then with great speed exited the atmosphere to the western sky. But I also have a dash cam that picked it up at least a minute before I noticed it, so from the video it was first noticed in the eastern sky and in under a minute it was past me really low like within 10k feet then it exits to the western sky.

My wife and I saw from the NW sky over the Everglades a weird object flying fast on an seemed elliptical curve going from west to north. Looked like a cross with 4 red light points. The object left behind a tail of fire as it accelerated. Also, its lights dimmed and the object vanished from the sky. Looked like it took off between the 3 seconds, or so, we spot it in the sky. Either the object was large, or it was not that far away, high in the sky as we were able to observe it clearly.

Seen from Miami from the south, guessing approx. city it could be over. Green/red/white and maybe blue lights blinking on/off and all around rapidly and constantly. Lights do not appear to be moving at all - not moving closer or further away and do not appear to be moving left to right or up or down. Looking with binoculars too. Bright, rapidly flashing lights appear to be sitting still high up in the sky, approx. 30 degrees off the horizon. Cannot tell shape of vehicle. Smaller aircraft have come and gone by. Object has not moved and continues to blink like a disco ball. Airplanes have been heard passing by. Clear night. Just noticed 2 additional similar objects super high up with bright flashing colored lights. One over maybe Hialeah and one over ocean to the east off sunny isles. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We saw 12 redish orange lights moving away from the toys r us parking lot we were in. The lights moved to the east at a decent pace no noise was heard at all. The lights were in a trapizoid shaped position moving through the sky as planes flew on by we saw them go past the lights as well with no visible affection to the lights.
