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.

My wife and I were on our patio talking. It was a clear night and as I looked at the sky I could see the typical stars and as I'm looking up I see a light moving across the sky at a very high speed from the south to the north at a very high altitude, Based on seeing aircraft at night flying at 35,000 ft, I estimate the object was close to 100,000 ft. It covered a large part of the sky very quick.

Driving home, I saw around 12:30 AM, a large, far off purple circle shaped light. It didn't appear to be moving, but hovering. Then, as soon as I saw it. It seemed to speed off in a flash and disappeared in an instant. I saw its trail of light disappear too. It was a clear night, and there were no street lights. I saw it from Durham Road, just leaving the Acme parking lot.

I managed to video tape a strange black object on my way home from work. I live near an airport and see airplanes fly overhead all the time. This was no airplane, it moved slow as if it were surveying the area. By the time I could pull over to get a good shot, it was way in the distance. It was hard to define its shape, but it was dark in color.

four white circling circles in the shape of a rectangle that converged into the middle and then back to four circles. And I might sound crazy but it followed me down 413, once home only saw one circle circling above me. Advertising lights?? PD
