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 where two total they where both black, one looked like it was on fire and the air smelled like fire. The other looked like it glared like when light hits a mirror. They were too high to be drones but moved slow and no sound. It was like they hovered but yet floated at same time but kept same height and came at different times. The first one came around and passed by and second one came about 30 minutes later it was different had movements that where twisting but not like anything I have seen fast movement but yet slow moving. I tried to get a picture but my phone wouldn't focus that high up. No trail like you see with jets and a plane passed after it went by in another direction that you can heat planes anytime they go by. This was silent.

Cloaked triangle with small visible points around it's exterior. It looked like the cloaked predator from the movie Predator but triangular. Roughly 500 ft above ground. Had a slight aura, blue/greenish and grayish aura. Seemingly 5 to 10ft in size. Totally silent.

It was 10:20 at night going down a little cottonwood canyon on a bicycle in Sandy Utah. We were in the area behind Albion Middle School that's forested on a good view. We looked up and were immediately taken back by what appeared to both of us "a large object" to be a very large skinny object. I quoted after that that thing had to be a mile or too long. I can't remember now because the moment has passed at the time however I was very convinced that there was an object in the sky between 2500 and 20,000 ft in the air. The object went across the sky very quickly appearing to be thousands of miles an hour consistent with the SpaceX satellite. Although after it went overhead it vanished within 2 seconds every single light just absolutely disappeared. I find that strange because SpaceX satellites I imagine wouldn't just vanish and you can clearly see them vanishing at the last second or two of the video. Within probably 5 seconds of the video ending The! video is exactly 1 minute long because that's the maximum Snapchat limit. In the video footage the biggest inconsistency with anything rational is at the 8 second mark there is a large flash that would have to be huge if it was in space right next to this formation. The odds of an object re-entering the atmosphere and looking like the way it does on film seems very small. So I checked for potential rational explanations as to what I have seen and filmed and they are saying that there was SpaceX satellites over salt lake City around the time we saw it. I am basically looking for a rational explanation to what that light is at the 8 second mark. Even though I may or may not have seen something more. I uploaded the video to YouTube because I didn't know where else to put it So there it is thank you for your time please look at what I'm looking at and see if you can explain it. https://youtu.be/wrshMqQ7Q9w

It was a clear night sky and I could see multiple stars. I saw a point of light about the same brightness as the surrounding stars but I noticed it was moving relative to the stars. From north north east to south southwest. It's speed appeared similar to a satellite and it was clearly far away but also very bright relatively. Once it reached about a 45 degree angle from my perspective it was no longer visible. It was a smooth flyby at a constant pace but how do I confirm if it was a satellite? Photos I have are interesting. They all show 3 points of light for this object. Could be from the image processing its movement but I don't know.

While out trick or treating a friend and I saw a bright white light in the night sky over Lone Peak mountain. We only saw it for a few second because it quickly disappeared behind the mountain.

My granddaughter and I watch an opaque oval shaped object travel quickly from the north to the south between big and little cottonwood canyon. At first I thought it was a large signal light but could not see anything coming from the ground and it was not moving.Then the object moved fast south and was out of sight.
