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.

Was in hot tub, facing North, looking skyward. Low haze, but not super overcast, sky was mostly clear/normal. My wife was with me but not facing in direction to see it. Object was not there, sky was empty, then object - it was the shape (and at arms length, the size) of an M&M - appeared - fully lit - in sky at ~45 deg. The weird part was it was already moving at significant speed when it appeared. Also appeared to be fully unwaveringly illuminated the whole time with no trails or dissapation. Traveled ~15 inches across the sky in ~2 seconds, from East to West at a downward trajectory. It looked like it was a mile or so away. Disappeared just as quickly. Did not appear to fizzle out, just disappeared. I have seen hundreds of shooting stars, it was NOT a shooting star. It was of a size that if it was an object, it was large enough to be seen on radar.

I was a passenger in a vehicle and was looking up into the sky ahead. There were thick grey clouds rolling in, with possible storm, ahead. I saw a stationary object, that appeared to not be moving. It was a straight black line that had a very bright light on far left end, with approximately 4 smaller lights, in a straight line from the brightest light. We passed a line of trees, where I lost sight of it,for a moment of approx 4 seconds. As we passed the trees,a few feet ahead, I saw that there was NOTHING in the sky, in any direction. The object seemed to have vanished. It was unlike anything I have ever seen. I cannot say what shape it was because all I saw was the odd lights on a black straight line. It was NOT a drone or a plane.

I saw it the thing was flying across the sky like it was a little ball on the ground but the thing I saw was flying fast and it had a white line behind it. Faster than a jet.

My Mom has said she has seen weird lights on her way to pick me up from work, tonight we went to the store and on the way home we saw the lights by a near by college. As we got closer we saw how big it was, maybe a litte bigger than our car (Ford Expidition) it was perfectly round with 6 legs coming off of it with amber lights with a red light on top of it. The road leading up to the college has streetlights which were blinking. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I had gone out on my deck to get some air and was looking at the Big Dipper and trying to locate the Little Dipper. I then noticed a bright light, similar to the size of Venus, travelling across the sky in a north to south direction. The speed was similar to that of a satelite or the space station when that passes. The bright light did not have any other lights or flashing. After traveling approximately 1/3 of the viewing area, the light was almost over my head. The object then went straight upward and after about 10 seconds it disappeared.

It was this faint thing in the sky and it looked like a star at first because it was far away but not that far. If you looked closely it was shaped like a long ovalish rectangle and if you looked more closely you could see like this lights and then i showed my friend and she was like ((deleted)) and were the only ones who saw it and it wasnt a plane or anything because it didnt move or have flashing color lights. And then as we were looking at it we saw this whitish beam come from the side of it and it was connecting to either a star or a another ufo and then poof it all disappeared
