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.

My Son called my husband and I outside, my husband stayed inside i went outside. We saw these orbs shooting around in the sky forming triangle shapes. I couldn’t believe my eyes there is no plane or any other explanation.. they were so fast ! It was right above the suburbs. They darted away and came back in the blink of an eye. I could have date wrong.. we didn’t write down date. I didn’t believe in UFO’s now I do. I work at a school and I am regularly drug tested.

Formations of 25-30 lights that followed closely, clearly see them climbing in elevation and leaving atmosphere in a rope like formation, definitelynot satellites.

I was observing the night sky on January 1st, 2017, between 2:30 am and 3:00 am, when I saw 6-8 lights about the size of Venus in formation traveling West across the sky. The formation was about the size of the moon and took approximately 8 seconds from when I seen the objects, to where I couldn't see them anymore. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect he is a quite reliable witness. PD

This sighting appears to be a balloon type object flying a 30,000-50,000ft. In the first hour of observance, the object seemed to move in a very sloooooow direction from the north to the southeast. At 17:45 the object was still very visible.

there was a flashing blue light up in the sky, traveling erratically. The flashing light was very erratic as well and nothing like I have ever seen before. It was traveling southward close by 99.

My husband and I saw 2 bright orange round balls of light moving through the dark sky at around 11:50 pm. At first they were moving fast then slowed, then stopped, started moving again then faded to a faint light, then disappeared. They lasted about 5 to 10 minutes.
