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.

Something in the sky that looked and moved similar to a commercial airliner was flying in the sky. It had red and white lights that flashed.

Came into my room after using the bathroom and looked out the window to notice a very bright light hovering in the sky. After standing and observing I started recording and trying to observe with binoculars. After that, I noticed two more lights towards the bottom of the water horizon but they were aligning in a triangle form. I then ran outside with my girlfriend to record and called my parents. After getting outside, there were only two lights left with the large one at the top becoming so bright it illuminated the water below it all the way to the beach. The craft was first observed out towards Cleveland and cleared a space from there to cedar point in what seemed like under a minute. The second craft at the bottom then disappeared only leaving the largest one. I then observed the large craft through the binoculars to which I noticed 6 lights that didn’t flicker like a plane. It looked like a cigar but was horizontal instead of vertical. After observing the shape and color the craft disappeared over cedar point.

I was going out to have a cigarette and I noticed in the sky over the tree line a very busy orange red light that seemed odd. I was on the phone with someone and I told them I'll call you back as this light turned into5-6 orange red balls and move slow together before 4 of them speeding off and one slowly went east, and I watch that one until it gotten so far I couldn't see it anymore.

As I was driving closer it seem to get closer then stores maybe 1000 feet in the are and stayed there the entire time I was driving and a bad feeling I had to stop at a rest stop to understand what I just saw I called my friend and no one believed me at all? So as I got to my friends house shortly after seeing whatever I saw I went out to smoke a cigarette and I'm telling you you could not make this up there was a bright light almost what I just seen but it was slightly higher than last time and I called my friend outside and we both watched as the light went from bright to dim red and disappeared. I still don't know what just happened, I was afraid and I don't get afraid at all. We are uncertain as to whether this report has been submitted as a serious-minded one. The date is flawed, and we suspect the time is wrong, as well, although we cannot be certain of that fact. We have attempted to contact the source of the report to obtain confirmation of time and date, but have not been successful in our attempts. PD
