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.

It was an orange ball, on the horizon, moving from the north east roughly, to the south west. It looked like it could be a plane, but it was large and bright, so i watched it. Obviously moving fast, but no faster than a jet. There were no quick jerky movements like I see in web video's or hear in witness accounts. About a minute into watching it while i walked my dog, it had come about the distance a large plane would have, and started almost swooning (the objects-) left, then straight, then right. Slow and closer to conspicuous, or maybe looking for something. All animals that can make the same movement looking for something. Then the object seemed to stop, but for a very short amount of time, a second or less, went forward again and changed overall direction. I thought it was east, until it was obvious it was going up, in no particular hurry. It grew smaller heading very obviously upward, until i could no longer see it. I'm trying to be detailed, in case you are genuine people trying to discover what i feel to be inevitable, if not already a part of our history. This is what should be on everyones minds, not elections for idiots or division in our race. This is the advancement or fall of humanity, along side our own actions. Its 6/28/20. Fireworks were being set, though to me it had nothing to do with what i saw, very obviously. Its somewhat cloudy, high winds. Winds probably very high at cloud level, they were moving relatively fast, but never went across the object. I had woken up from a nap about a hour before, and was completely coherent, not under any influence aside from caffeine. I only put one time in the upper box, but it was between 10:15 pm and 10:20 pm. I hope this helps. Good luck.

At 10;40 pm PDT I saw a light that looked like a star (a background star, not bright like Venus) moving from west to east – as I continued to watch, another light came from the same spot in the sky and started to glide east as well. Over the course of about 15 minutes, I saw over two dozen (I stopped counting at 16) of what looked like a star, not a bright star, just a background star, coming from the same spot in the western sky and moving in different directions. The lights were not evenly spaced when they arrived, sometimes one would appear soon after the one before. They each had their own course and eventually had spread out in a spoke-like pattern, going north, east and south. They were all going the same speed, fairly slow. The yellowish light did not change or dim, there was no blinking or colored lights. They appeared to be within our atmosphere, like a high plane. I just happened to be looking in the right place. Anyone glancing at the sky would! think it was a star, it moved slowly and it took me a minute to confirm that these particular stars were actually moving. They each stayed in a linear direction, no turns or movement other than gliding in a line like spokes. It was like a clown-car, they just continued to emerge from the same spot in the sky. Eventually, they stopped emerging.

Moving from the southwest sky to the east. More than 40 jets(?) over about half an hour spaced fairly evenly flew overhead. We could see one after another in the same trajectory. There were maybe 4 or 5 flying parallel to the the 40 interspersed over the event length.

There were three, bright orange circles in the distance sky that were moving at a 45 degree angle. They were moving in a straight line and then formed into three triangle forms. After three minutes, they slowly faded away (disappeared). Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
