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.

Approximately 2:00 p.m. a co-worker spotted the object to the West since that time it has moved nearly directly above going the opposite direction of the clouds. As I write this it still is hovering almost directly above slightly to the South.

While driving down the road, my friend and I observed a small extremely fast moving object with a green light blocking the appearance of the object. It was moving towards the ground, but out of nowhere, the green light disappeared and the object was no longer visible. We both said, “Holy ((deleted)), did you see that?”

It was Oct. 30th, around 10:50pm. I had just pulled into my girlfriend’s apartment complex and got out of the car to greet her. As we walked towards her building I pointed out how perfect the night sky was, there was not a cloud to be seen and all the stars were shining brilliantly. We took a minute to gaze in wonder at some of the constellations. It was at that moment I noticed a dark mass speed into my field view from my left to right. There was no aura around the object, no blinking lights, no emitting beam, and no sound being made. I could hear only the night. As the object flew across the sky in front of us, it was briefly illuminated by either the moon light above it, or light from the ground. But again, there was no light emitting from the object in question. I was able to make out more detail within the few seconds dim light was cast upon the object. It was without a doubt triangle shaped. It was just dark as the night sky surrounding it. There were numerous white/opaque circles that dotted the inside perimeter of the triangle shaped object. But again, there was no light being emitted. Or at least it seemed. To me, it looked like the surrounding light made it possible to see the circles. It was very dim but you could see the contrast within the triangle shape. Seeing it move away from us, it appeared to be a rather flat triangle. It did not stop or make any change in direction, but appeared to stay on a straight path the entire time. It looked to be at an altitude a small plane would at if it were coming into land. However, the object carried on in a very straight line, very rapidly. This whole encounter happened very fast. it lasted maybe 6 – 10 seconds. But it left both my girlfriend and I completely dumbfounded and awestruck as to what we had both just witnessed.

Each time it slowly fades and then disappears. It is definitely within range to hear if it was a plane or helicopter. No flashing lights. Just a solid light. I attempted to examine it through my tifle scope, but it was too bright to determine what it is. Following its disappearance what seems to favor a fox bark has occurred each time. That part could be a coincidence, but a rather strange one if you ask me. We can't be the only ppl seeing this. It obviously isn't attempting to stay hidden.

While driving to work at 0510E on Feb 06 2016, Two bright white lights were seen circling each other just above the tree line. The lights were too far away to observe any craft or structure beyond the glare or the light. They did not flicker or pulse….just a steady bright, pure white light. When first noticed, the lights appeared as if on approach to an airport but did not appear to move, just hovering. Suddenly, what appeared to be the trailing light began to rise and circle above, what I’m referring to as, the front light; ending up to appear larger and leading the other but still no forward movement. This all took place within a 30 second timeframe. I was not able to stop and view longer but further down the road, I pulled over and looked in the direction where the lights were seen but they were gone. I have worked for a major airline for 26+ years at numerous major airports across the USA and have never seen aircraft perform or maneuver in this manner. In the direction of the observed lights, there are no airports except for KATL at a distance of nearly 35 miles. Location; intersection of Westhill Dr and Fairway Drive, Newnan GA (30265). Viewing direction NNE Estimated distance lights were from intersection – est 0.5 – 1.0 miles

I was outside with my Friend talking around 11 pm on 8/23/2014 on the east side of Newnan, GA, when a streak of light grabbed both our attention. It then flashed brightly and quickly faded away. This was the strangest thing I have ever witnessed. No sound at all came our way so it was not lightening or anything real close to us. My wife happened to be driving a few miles away at that same time and said she saw the flash of light at that same time, but thought it was lightning. I have seen hundreds of shooting stars over the years, but none ever brightly flashed like this.
