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.

Observer was driving down Hwy 63 and noticed a large, rectangular object in the sky. At first It was thought ito be a sign being flown above a building, but as the witness neared the highway, it was realized that the object was moving across the sky. The next thing thought was that of a sign being pulled by an airplane, but there were no other aircraft in the sky. The object was moving in a straight, smooth line. When the witness got to the light before the left turn onto I-75, a short video was taken. The movement was seemless and straight with no flapping edges or moving parts. Eventually the turn at a stop light which had changed to green, caused the object to be lost to sight.

I have already submitted a report for earlier this month pertaining to an earlier sighting - and I have just had another. Tonight (09 - 19 - 2017) at approximately 8:45 PM EST, I was out in my back yard having a cigarette, when I saw what seemed to me - to be a very slow flaring light or high altitude explosion - orange in color - that began as a pin point of light that suddenly appeared - and then over a period of 1 to 1.5 seconds grew dramatically in brilliance, faded quickly down to a pin point once again - and then moved farther towards the north as it continued to fade until it was no longer visible. the entire incident occurred at a high altitude (stratosphere?) well above the weather deck - maybe between 3000 to 8000 feet? The position of the initial incident was North East, I would say towards northern Warren County Ohio. The incident duration was about 2.5 seconds. I am not dismissing conventional explanations but it did NOT seem to be a meteor or space junk - as the object moved in a directed manner after flaring and fading - curving its course. Also - both the flare up and the object's motion seemed too slow for a meteorite. I am submitting sequenced graphics and an animated GIF file to NUFORC.

Between the hours of approximately 10:30 pm EST and 10:45 pm EST, I observed a tight procession/single file flight of what could have been anywhere from eight to twelve red lights flying in an unremarkable yet "eerie" manner from the NNE to a SW direction. I am not discounting the possibility that these could be aircraft perhaps heading towards either Florida or Texas for hurricane relief operations - but these "aircraft" had only a red light(s) as far as I could discern, and there were a lot of them following each other in a "one by one" procession. They flew over neighboring Middletown, Ohio, which is next door to Monroe - at a relatively low altitude. They did not originate from the proper direction of Wright Patterson AFB - but from farther North. There were no unusual flight behaviors that would differentiate them from typical aircraft - but I could not hear any noise that I could directly associate with them. The scene struck me as being very creepy. Neighborhood dogs were barking - but I was unsure if this was because of the objects - or because I was standing on my porch and they heard me making remarks such as, "Oh my God!" - and "You must be ((word deleted)) kidding me!".

My girl and I were leaving Cincinnati heading north on i75. It was about a couple miles after we past the Cincinnati Outlet Malls. We saw some strange activity west of the highway. We agreed it wasn't an airplane or any sort of common explanation. We saw an orb it the sky. (Note: its not jupiter.) It had me curious, so I keep my eyes on it. Then not too long after that three more orbs came out one at a time. They would line up with the mother orb and then all go back inside til we saw the vision of one orb again. That was all we saw because of cloud cover that night. I've seen recent videos of this particular UFO activity and this is what it reminded me of.

In Kroger parking lot in Monroe, my fiance and I witnessed a formation of orange, glowing, triangle-shaped crafts hovering in sky over Middletown in distance. Triangles first hovered in arrow shape and glowed. Some went dark, others glowed brighter, then the others appeared again. While they glowed in and out, they moved into different formations, including an arc shape. Then some went dark. The others went dark and they totally disappeared.
