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.

Our home’s air conditioning had recently broken and our area was suffering a heat wave. To stay comfortable at night we took to sleeping in our new travel trailer who’s air conditioning worked great. Since we were on a long waitlist to have our AC repair done, we knew we might be in the travel trailer for a couple of weeks. Instead of using the bathroom inside the rig, we’d typically utilize our bathroom inside the house to avoid having to constantly dump the black & gray water tanks. On Monday September 9th, 2022 at 4:41am (date time stamp on my photos) I was just stepping outside of our RV to head inside our home to use the bathroom when I turned facing north on the RV steps to close the door. When doing so, I immediately focused my sight on a strange, well lit, cigar shaped object moving from west to east across the sky, low perspective-wise on the northern sky. I rubbed my eyes to ensure I wasn’t “seeing something” and quickly came to my senses that I should try and photograph the object. I ran back inside the RV, jumped across the bed to unplug my iPhone and quickly brought up the camera and stepped outside and was able to capture two photos of the object before it moved out of sight. The object was high in the sky, cigar shaped, looked translucent and well lit with moving white lights. No other features were visible. Total time to move from one side of the horizon to the other, I estimate to be approximately 45 seconds.

My wife and I were in the hot tub when I observed 8 circular lights heading northeast over the Pine Nut Mountain Range in northwestern Nevada. They were in a straight line, evenly spaced, with no flashing lights like a normal aircraft displays. We observed them for about two minutes, then they just disappeared.

Rocket shape moving fast across the western shy over Job's peak going south to north. Bright like a searchlight from the air. Left an expanding cone shaped trail of smoke or fog that turned green and hung brightly in air for several minutes. Bright part faded, but a green shaft ran the length of the cloud which to object had emitted for some time. Object flared and brightness went out but with binoculars could continued to see it hover over mountains until it sank into west. No noise. Very strange. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

We suspect that the object may have been a so-called "twinkling" star. PD

As my wife and I exited our vehicle at our residence in Gardnerville, Nevada, my wife told me there was something strange in the sky. I looked up in a southerly direction and observed three lights, green in color, in a triangular formation. All the lights would go out, then the one (front) light would flash, then the two other lights would flash, then all the lights would appear to oscillate then go off with no apparent pattern. This object appeared to be motionless and in a stationary position. After ten to fifteen minutes, the object faded from view.
