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.

There was 2 lights in the sky that duplicated into 4 and then duplicated in six and then dissipated into nothing. The lights were white and made into a rectangular shape. It made no noise and it happened within 5-7 seconds.

I was driving south of Virginia Dare trail, when I noticed two bright yellow lights in the sky. One was to the left of the Albermarle Sound, and one was to the right of the Albermarle Sound. The lights would flash and go away. Once the lights flash, the objects were getting closer to the water. Almost like free falling. Sightings lasted about a minute than they disappeared.

I saw one light in the sky, then another joined it. They were in a north-south line. One went out as my boyfriend came outside. We both saw the one that was left, then 3 others joined it, still in a north-south line. They blinked off one at a time.

When in 2016 on vacation I looked outside in the sky and saw three disks with 9 lights on each all flying in formation, and the way I knew it wasn’t a plane is because it was very low flying and it made no noise

Nags Head, NC
I was skateboarding in my neighborhood, there are fun hills to ride. On my way home I got to the top of the hill and something caught my eye. Straight in my line of site was a grey disc or oval shape, I couldn't tell because it was horizontal to the ground. It was darker grey on the top and bottom, slightly lighter grey in the middle. It was just hovering but the reason it caught my eye was a diamond shaped cloud, very shimmery and all alone in the cloudless sky. The disc was right next to the cloud and it looked like either the disc was taking in or expelling the cloud right into the leading edge of the disc. I watched for about 20 seconds and I tried to get my phone out and camera turned on. Right as I looked back up, it just disappeared, the cloud and everything.
