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.

Seen from east facing window. Clear night sky- almost due east- about 45-50 degrees above horizon based on tree line and my line of sight. No wind, no objects obscuring my view. Have no idea of height or distance from me- don’t know size - have reference - couldn’t make out a shape. Stationery large bright white light with long sharp twinkle rays - no rainbow coloring in rays- bright then dim no noticeable timing pattern. It did not move. Then seemingly randomly 3 times went completely dark for less than 1 second. Don’t know if there was any sound as I was inside the house. I’ve seen planets, shooting stars, satellites and meteor showers- it wasn’t any of those. I’m also a skydiver and this was not a helicopter or any aircraft I’m familiar with- nor was it a blimp- or military aircraft- as I’ve seen in many times in So Cal. I grabbed my phone and headed out back door to get video- took me about 7 seconds- looked easterly and it was gone. Waited several minutes, scanned sky, nothing. Sorry I couldn’t video it. I hope others saw n report it. It was stunningly breathtaking- and I’m not easily impressed.

5 slow moving silent orange/red orbs. Approx. 500 feet about ground. Hard to determine exact size but they were large. Started on a westward heading then turned South. Ascended rapidly until out of sight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A bright ball of light (like a tiny moon) shot downward at an angle, then turned sharply and sped back up into the clouds.
