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.

Date: 05/27/21 Time: 06:46 AM Location: Cogburn Road Park, 12825 Cogburn Road, Alpharetta, GA 30004 U.S.A. Direction: East Conditions: Clear sunrise, with light cloud canopy Circumstance: While capturing a photograph of the sunrise with an iPhone 12 a small white light was captured near the center of the photograph. At the time, the phenomenon was not directly observed by me. Rather, when I looked at the photographs, (6 were taken), I noticed an odd white light in the image and zoomed into the photo to see what it was. Each of the 6 photos show a slightly different image of the phenomenon. The raw image photographs were transferred to a computer and further examined at high resolution. The point of light turned out to be a series of lights forming a partial circle around a center light. No visible object around the lights can be observed. Also, there are approximately 7 lights arranged in two pairs, around a center with another light along the circumference, and another light showing movement away from the concentric circle cluster. Evidence: Six iPhone photographs captured in Apple’s “RAW” HEIC camera mode which can be processed and saved as JPG, PNG, TIF, or other file formats. Note, the camera RAW image is an unprocessed file and therefore, provides the most accurate image capture of the object. RAW Image Size: 4032 x 3024, 8Bit, RGB, 72ppi. Capture Time: 1. 05/27/21 06:46:32 AM 2. 05/27/21 06:46:34 AM 3. 05/27/21 06:46:55 AM 4. 05/27/21 06:46:57 AM 5. 05/27/21 06:46:58 AM 6. 05/27/21 06:47:00 AM Photographic Submission: Each of the photographs will be submitted in full and with an enlarged section centered on the unidentified object in JPG format as requested.

My daughter and I were driving on 400 near the Mansell Exit and we saw 3 orbs in the shape of a triangle very large that spanned the freeway. They were rotating in harmony. I couldn’t tell if it was a triangle or 3 separate objects because it was dark but I’ve never seen anything move like that. Wondering if anyone else saw it because this was over the major highway with many cars present

Hello, I did not know about there was a place to officially report these sightings or else I would have done this sooner. I was on my way to work in the morning, and it was winter, 2 days after Christmas. The trees were bare and the sky was clear with no clouds, so I was able to see fairly far. I saw in the air, some distance away, a boomerang shaped object and the ends were facing downwards, so it could even be described as an upside down ‘U’. It was completely white, but since it was in the open sky, I have no frame of reference for how large it was. I did my best to keep my eye on it, but since I was driving I could not take a picture. The object did not move and just hovered in the sky. After about 10-15 seconds, I had to take my eyes completely off of the object to go thru a roundabout circle on the road, but when I looked up again it was gone. I kept looking and as I proceeded down the road, I saw it again but it had moved a very large distance away within the 5-10 seconds that I had lost it. The ends of the U were still facing down and it was hovering again, without moving. I was able to keep my eyes on it for another 5 seconds or so and then lost it again. I was not able to find it after that.

Bright spherical light seemed to drop out of the sky above a tree line and then abruptly made a 90° direction change to flying south. All happened in a matter of a second or 2, and then disappeared as it bolted away.
