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.

There were more than 3 witnesses to this sighting. 3 were in my car. My 2 children and I were on I65S going home. We passed the Smiths Grove exit and saw something coming down from the atmosphere falling it seemed and we saw another in tow falling down as well. We continued down the interstate. I told my kids that they were probably a satellite that the government claims falls sometimes. When we got a good view I could see that they had just stopped in the air. Just hanging out. We got to an open area and we could see them very well. They were the classic metallic color, round with a dome top and in the air at an angle so I could see them very well. Then we saw a jet flying toward them quickly and idk what happened after that. We continued on our way home. I tried to take pictures but they were not the best. The objects look white in the pictures

Looked up and noticed something bright almost like a star but no stars are out yet. Zoomed in with phone camera and it was a spherical shape that was reflecting the sun. Started to record the event and then the item simply disappeared.

My friend and I were in my backyard late one night and observed an orb low in the sky, we got a telescope to try and see details, the orb was so bright we could not look at it through the telescope. The next night we observed hundreds of tiny lights in the 2 trees behind my house later in the evening a plane (we assumed was a police plane as it had red and green lights) flew low over the house followed by a helicopter and then 3 police drones, the drones hovered in the area my friend and I observed the orb. This continued every evening throughout the summer. I was curious as to the reason for the drone surveillance and what the tiny lights were, so I installed video cameras that soon recorded many strange occurrences as well as beings that seemed to take the shape of their surroundings. The beings seem to be the lights that we have observed all summer. When the leaves on the trees started to fall and the foliage was no longer in the back yard we saw less of the lights in that area, but the camera in the front part of the house had started to record or snap pics of odd things, things that appear to be beings but take the shape as their surrounds as well as the lights we had seen in the tree in the back yard. The cameras are still running in the front of the house and snap pics or records things that alert the motion sensors. This is a daily occurrence and has been ongoing since my friend and I observed the orb..

We were looking at the full moon. I noticed 2 bright white objects moving across the sky. They were moving very fast in a straight line and were aligned in a formation fairly close to each other. We realized it was significant and strange and I got my camera out to film it. At that point you could only see 1 white tic tac shaped craft or plane. We could not tell if it was a plane because we could not see wings or a tail or exhaust. Video lasted around 1.5 minuets and the craft went away out of sight on the same path. About 10 seconds later I noticed a jet aircraft high in the sky flying very fast, compared to seeing airliners in the sky. We could see the exhaust gas or cont-trail, whatever it's called. I filmed the jet for about 1.5 minuets too. It looked higher in the sky to me than the tic-tac crafts but it's hard to tell. They were defiantly moving in the same direction or towards the same heading. It seemed like a military test or something in the moment we were there. Later, I started to think maybe the jet was chasing the crafts. We did not see the jet catch up. They all disappeared over the horizon. We were in a small boat on Barren River checking catfish lines when the event occurred. There were 3 men in the boat. All 3 persons saw the craft. The boat was moving down stream about 20-25mph. I was filming as we went.

I’m a high school teacher and saw the objects on my drive home from work. The objects were cigar or tic tac in shape and they were floating motionless in a vertical position. After 45 minutes of watching, the vanished. It was 3:45 pm on a crystal clear day. My girl friend and her son saw them as well.

I had gotten up to use the bathroom and a bright orangish flickering light caught my eye out the window because it was low and relatively close. I watched for a few minutes and it moved a bit left/right and forward almost. Super tired I got back in bed and told my husband he should go look. I drifted off but when he got back in bed he said that was the coolest thing and it was so close. In the morning I asked what he saw to compare and he said an orange triangle. He described it much closer than when I had looked at it.
