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.

At 3AM, I went out to lay in the grass and smoke a cigarette. I watched something star-like hover in place at first, but then it started to zig zag, it also moved in circular motions. I watched it until 5AM, at which point it started to fly away fast in a straight line.

It literally lasted all of 5 second just zoom across the sky into the clouds if I didn't look up I wouldn't have ever noticed it flying by, it was that silent.

UAPs 10/22/20 1:54:54 PM It was early afternoon and I was driving on an outer service road heading to the grocery store. It was a mostly clear day and I noticed some chem-trail activity in the sky when an airplane came into my view. It seemed a bit odd-shaped and I wasn’t quite sure if I was seeing an airplane or something else. My phone was close by so I took a quick picture. When I got home, I looked at the picture and was surprised to see some orb-like UAPs with a misty object hovering close by.

My son and I were coming home around 8 pm when we look to the W and noticed probably 10-12 orange lights in the sky. We both said it looked like the big dipper. We continued to see them as we traveled approx. 1 mile then turned left to try and get closer to see what they were. At this point the next time we spotted them I was able to get a picture but this time only 5 were visible. They were ascending into the sky. Clear night and well above house and tree lines so were not Christmas lights or radio towers.

Was walking my dog and I saw this super bright white light zoom across the sky. Definitely too close/bright/fast to be a plane. saw it for less than 2 seconds and it disappeared behind the tree line

I went out to my car and noticed a low bright light cross the sky in front of me. At first I thought it was a shooting star or airplane. Then I started looking up and noticed 4 other objects hovering in the low sky with bright lights. The objects would move up/down/back/forth dimming everytime we attempted video. I was able to get some pictures using my cell & the Camera360 app once I adjusted the filter & zoomed it. Each of the (UFO) had the same image except that some were vertical & some were horizontal. They stayed in the sky for hours just moving up/down & side to side. In the pictures they took on a red circle light in the middle of what appearree to resemble dark cylinder/disk space on the ends. In one of my pictures just left of the object I discover something faint white in the shape of a box hovering too. It was bearly visible in the picture. I thought I could hear a low motor of some sorts. I drove out to St. Peters and could still see the objects in the sky & could hear the sound. Still. On my way back, another object appearred low in the sky looking West on Mexico Rd.
