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.

CD shaped aircraft in the sky lights close together showing different colors a small shadow of black. You could see the air craft cutting through clouds. It stayed for about 3 minutes. It showed colors of blue, yellow, pink, and etc. It was not a star streak, or sharlink, it was a flying air craft that was beyond human technology. It was beautiful it stayed in sight then backed away farther towards the sky and all in one disappeared. Zoom into the photos you can see individual lights.

Katy, TX
I was on my balcony looking up at the moon at 2:50 July 16, 2022. As I was looking out into the sky I noticed an orange object floating up behind a tree. I kept expecting it to fall and when I could see that it wasn’t I started recording. It looked like a ball of fire (with no smoke). It went straight up then started drifting higher and to the right until it was out of my visual. I then went to the back of my apartments to get a better view since the buildings were blocking and it was out of my visual. As I came back to my balcony looking over the videos I had just taken another fireball came from the same location and I pulled out my phone to record again but to my disappointment I didn’t hit the record button. But the second fireball went the same exact route as the first one I saw. I sat outside for another hour and a half waiting to see if another was going to appear but did not see one after those two.

Interestingly, I was out in my backyard sky-gazing. I had previously seen another object in the sky that I could not identify. That took place on 10/29/2021. Unfortunately, I did not have my phone available to film that object. However, on November 18, 2021 at approximately 3 pm, I went into my backyard and noticed an angel/cross cloud and started filming it, along with the rest of the sky. The sun was very bright, making it almost impossible to see what I was filming. As I was panning my phone across the sky, I noticed a metallic flash of light with my naked eye, the duration maybe a second. I tried to locate it again with my naked eye but it was gone, or so I thought. I focused my camera in the area where I saw the flash and beyond, not knowing what I was capturing. I reviewed my video that night multiple times and at different speeds, backwards and forwards. It initially appears stationary, then started to fly upwards and then made a very distinctive turn headed right/south where it “hid” in the clouds. You can barely make out it’s moving through the clouds. Since I didn’t know in real time that I was filming this object, I panned over to the right too soon after it went into the clouds. I panned back to the same spot and I could no longer see it. The entire video is five minutes, the object appears at the 3:21 mark. I tried to upload my video to this site but it said exceeded max size.
