The report, as filed
Yesterday was really foggy in Colorado. On my way back from Boulder, I saw at least 3 blocks from my house 3 red lights up in the sky but in a shape that would add up to the shape of a UFO. I laughed at myself for thinking that but as I watched it it was going VERY fast for an "airplane" I thought it was a jet but the red spaced out lights made it look much bigger than that. It was higher up in the sky and was traveling about (my guess) 6 or 7 times faster than an airplane. The solid red lights started to blink rapidly and then rhe "object" literally went so fast to the right my eyes couldn't keep up with it. It just "BOOM" flew to the right and was GONE. I tried to search for some reasonable explanation for what this thing was. It wasn't an airplane or jet so the only other thing I could think of was some sort of m! ilitary craft like those really huge "silent bombers" but where I saw this "UFO" is not anywhere near a military base. And I gotta tell you (with my expierience living right next to a marine base) this did not move as fast as one of- what I saw. So, to kind of wrap it up here, I do believe now that what I saw wasn't something that should have been seen, and I'm going to have a really hard time trying to unsee it. But to make something clear, I think that there are oher planets out there- more- beyond our imagination, so maybe this thing that I saw is just an airplane to some normal people like us. Hopefully not some green big headed creeps......

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.

Witnessed multiple lights sitting still in the sky for over a hour before new ones appeared and the old ones moved away.

Round white light a third the size of the moon sat stationary for 2 minutes and then began to move north. The object then slowly curved east and then left a square puff of smoke that was lighted and wavy. Through the smoke you could see the object getting smaller. A few minutes later it had a long V shaped tail similar to a comet and continued directly east. The light got smaller and smaller. Then another puff of square smoke that was lighted. As the object traveled east it eventually was as small visually as a star in the sky with no visible tail until it was too far away to see. It never went up. Just straight east. There were a few clouds that were dark because the moon didn't come up in the sky until around 1:30 am. The object was stationary for several minutes before it began to move. I called my brother to see if he could see it from a city 70 miles away but he was unable to get outside so just stood on the phone while I explained frantically what I was seeing. It was enough to have me very animated and was so confusing I decided to report this one even though I have had at least five other different sightings and experiences I have never reported. The entire time there was no sound on a mostly clear and quiet night.

In Johnstown, CO at an graduation. Was watching a dust storm kick up and above the dust storm were two lights flying around eachother. Almost like playing tag. One would zigzag out of the clouds and the other chasing after it. There were actual aircraft in the area going to DIA but these were going so much faster than the big jets. Changing direction in a split second.

Looking to the SW there was a very long straight string of bright white lights moving towards the N very quickly. They moved in a straight line as if following each other but the distance between them was uniform throughout, indicating it was one solid craft likely in the cigar shape. It was at least a foot ball field and a half to two foot ball fields in length and moved much faster than the earth is visually spinning. At first I thought it had to be a string of satellites sliding across the sky as the earth was spinning but then I realized they were moving diagonally and much faster than the planes in the immediate area. I recorded the lights until the began to dim at the front end one by one as if it was traveling behind something else in the sky obscuring my view of it. However, there wasn't even a single cloud that it could have hid behind after it disappeared. My footage isn't the best due to me being so baffled and watching it with my eyes rather than the camera.
