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.

Looked out north facing window and saw large glowing red object moving slowly east to west, approximately 1/4 the size of a full moon. No blinking, just solid glowing red ball. My first thought was it was Venus, but it was much too large and of course moving across the sky at a steady moderate pace. No change in elevation that I could see. It traveled almost due west and disappeared. Start to finish approximately 30 seconds for it slot eventually disappear, still traveling west. I was pretty sure I must be seeing something explainable, but it was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I decided there must be an explanation, and was going to write it off as something unusual but not necessarily important. Then another large red glowing object appeared in the east, approximately same position as when I saw object 1. It was following the same path as object 1, and quickly a 3rd red glowing object appeared but further east, like they were traveling together one fol! lowing the other. Their speeds seemed to match. At this time I woke up my son who was sleeping and told him to meet me outside. When we got outside on the deck 10-15 seconds later, only one red glowing was visible. We watched as it passed by above the tree line, moving to the west the same as object 1 did. It was 1:30 am and the neighborhood was very quiet. I wondered if it was helicopter, but it made no noise. My son noted there were no blinking lights, it was just one glowing big orb ball type of share, very red and almost like it was on fire. We watched until it disappeared, and waited a few more minutes but no more appeared. We went to bed. In the morning, my son told me he saw one more go by, one of his bedroom windows faces north same as the window in my bedroom where I first saw object 1. He watched it move to the west, then went to sleep. I don’t know what we saw, but it was really odd. I didn’t bother trying take a pic, didn’t think they’d turn out and I didn’t wan! t to miss seeing them while looking for my phone.

We were sitting in our east facing backyard last night when sometime after 10:00 pm I noticed a glowing orange light in the south east direction. The light hovered and was moving slightly for about a minute and then slowly faded away. Several minutes later, two orange lights appeared from the south and rose to the same spot from before. They hovered and moved slightly for up to two minutes before slowly fading and disappearing. This same occurrence repeated for approximately 30 minutes, with the lights hovering for several minutes and then disappearing for several minutes. Sometimes it was one light and sometimes it was two lights. I would describe them as glowing orange orbs.

April 19th 2020. Chaska, MN, going North on County Road 41/Hazeltine Blvd just south of Lyman Blvd. Dark, clear night with visible stars. Going East to West a large, low flying, slow moving, very distinctive white ring with a lighter, thinner inside moved towards me in the front of my windshield, then turned South so I could see it out of my driver side window. I pulled over at the next corner to look at it, but it had disappeared. If I try to put a size and location of it I’d say it was just over the tree level and large enough to fit 2 cars side by side within the ring.

It was a large glowing ball of light that went around in circles above the clouds and was very hard to get images of.

Weather conditions are hot and unusual for this time of year in MN, with a high in the 90's, conducive to storms. Watching the weather front coming in around 7:00 pm - darkest to the east and south. Between 7:15 pm and 8:00 pm, where the sky was the darkest to the south and east, I saw what I thought was a flock of birds behaving as a flock - coalescing, dispersing, going up into the clouds, then coming back again. Many times they formed different designs, sometimes seeming symmetrical and rising beneath the clouds so some couldn't be seen. I could see the undersides were round and bright white. I believe there were at least 50 shapes I saw. Unfortunately we could't get pictures. After a while, realized what I was seeing was 1) too symmetrical to be birds and 2) too large to be birds.
