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.

As I was driving, me and my significant other spotted in the sky what looked like multiple unknown flying objects. I did not really count because I was focusing on driving, but I want to say there was at least about 6 or 8 of them flying towards the opposite direction where I was going. I was driving on SR-212 going towards Covington, GA near Newton County from Atlanta.They either looked like a saucer, triangle or diamond shaped. There was multiples of them. They would hover over sort of low for a couple of minutes and then move in one direction together. They did have lights, red, green, and white. Some of the lights would blink, and some would not, it was just lit up the whole time. The time was around 7:30PM and the date was 11/25/2020. The weather was cloudy and sprinkling rain but the unknown flying objects were still visible to see even in that type of weather. This was my first time ever seeing anything like this. I have multiple videos and I was abl! e to stop for a little bit and capture 3 of them flying next to each other, but I don’t know if the videos will do it justice because Iphone cameras suck and I don’t think my significant other did a great job at recording them. I also want to mention that my significant other claimed that he saw something similar to what we saw on 11/25/2020 last week in Atlanta. Whatever these are, they would just hover for a little bit, and then slowly move together in one direction.

My wife and I were taking our dogs outside from 2130-2145 on 3/31/2020. I looked up and saw an extremely high altitude object flying a linear flight path from ~240 degrees southwest to 60 degrees NE. I took note of a commercial aircraft flying substantially lower than the first object I saw, so I know what we saw we not a conventional aircraft. I pointed out the first object to my wife, who at first though it was an object in orbit.. as we have watched the ISS fly over before. The object was bright enough to be seen by the naked eye. We were watching it, and it blinked a few times, dimmed, and vanished. There was no cloud coverage at the time, it simply vanished. One object would not have been that big of a deal.. however, what happened next was certainly a big deal. My wife and I stood outside and watched 13 more object flying in linear flight paths, from three different origins and end points. I verified the flight paths using a compass on my phone. The o! bjects were flying equidistant, extremely high, just appeared as orbs of light. They all flickered, dimmed, and vanished at the same spots in the sky. There may have been more objects, but cloud coverage moved in and blocked our view of the sky. It was astonishing! I hope others saw them too.

There were also high flying aircraft in the sky that day, and from time to time I was pointing the binoculars to get a look at the aircraft and their contrails. I've been an aviation enthusiast for my entire life and have attended countless airshows featuring both military and civilian aircraft. There was an aircraft flying at high altitude, leaving a contrail. I followed it with the binoculars as it traveled from south to the north. After following it for approximately 10 seconds or so, I noticed a strange metallic glint just to what would have been the aircraft's 8 o'clock. I remember thinking, "wow.. that plane is close to the other one.." but then realized that this object wasn't moving, and wasn't leaving contrails like all the other aircraft at that altitude were. I pulled the binoculars away to see if I could see the object without the aid of the optics, but I couldn't - so I looked through them again, found the object again. It was completely stationary. Definitely metallic. I remember seeing the sun glimmering off the surface. It was far away, and I was using 7x50 power binoculars.. I could tell it was egg shaped with what appeared to be.. spikes jutting from the craft. I looked away from the binoculars again to try again with my naked eye, but couldn't see it. I went back to the binoculars and was unable to find it again. I'm under the assumption that it must've left the area, as I was unable to find it again. I was unable to obtain a picture, much to my consternation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iVbZ9BkkWM She said it looked similar to this video except she was much closer and it looked like their wings were flapping. She was getting onto I-20 to head west from Covington, towards Social Circle.

Saw a bunch of low-altitude lights drifting overhead.
