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.

Round bright white light entered field of view from West moving east disappearing in front of eyes into a dark looking hole. Were doing fireworks and noticed light moving very fast. High altitude!

I live in Atlas Apartments at 401 N 10th St and N E St, in Richmond Indiana. I had gone outside for a late night cigarette. Another tenant was crossing the street, and he stopped, at the sidewalk for a few seconds, and he yelled at me to "come and see this! I think they're UFOs!" I ran over, and my first thought was, that looks like the Phoenix lights formation. I'm positive that there were five, but, you can see two more, to the left, and a building blocks out, what I'm betting, was three more, to make two formations. Sorry for the two shakey pictures, and I was in such amazement, I didn't think to video the sighting. We couldn't see any movement and there was no sound. They aren't glares, but they are about the same color as the street lamps, and they did not change colors. I believe that this lasted about ten minutes.. maybe a bit less. From the left side up and then down the right side, they disappeared, one at a time, and both formations were in exact synch with each other. That is all. I was going through old pics on my phone, and I saw these, realizing that I'd forgotten to do this. Feel free to contact me, if you'd like. What I wrote, above, is word for word, what I would say, in a conversation. If possible, I would love to know if you rule this as a UFO sighting, or something else. Preferably via email, but a phone call is fine. Thank you for your time!

Took place near fairgrounds. I was outside at work and happened to look up at the sky. I saw a white light that was way too low to be a plane or street light. It moved very quickly from left to right in a fast diagonal movement. The light disappeared after it moved.

I first saw a falling star. I thought I might see some more so I looked up for a few more seconds. I thought I was seeing one but then noticed one following it, followed by another and so on, New they couldn't be falling stars. They seemed to be traveling at regular intervals in a straight line. Bright, a few brighter or somewhat larger than others, seemed to be very high possibly Going through some high clouds at times and moving very fast. I was considering not reporting this but I believe I have witnessed something rare. P.S, The falling star was moving east to north; the objects were moving west to east. Hope some one else saw them. String of Space Link satellites. PD
