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.

I work as a Hospice CNA so I get up early in the morning so I can be at my first facility by 5:45 a.m, well I left the house about 5:10 a.m when I got on hwy 701 south heading towards which is about 4 or 5 miles from Bucksport I seen flashing lights ahead so I was like I know there's nobody working on the hwy this time of morning because school traffic and work traffic will be coming through soon, so I started slowing down before I came around a short curb but you can the flashing bright lights, when i came around the curb i slammed on breaks I almost ran in the ditch, there was a big hoovering sphere, it look like a hug disco ball with flashing lights, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, my heart started beating a 150 beats per minutes, this object was just hoovering in the middle of the road I close my eyes and then opened it again and it was still there, I looked at my phone which was on the passenger seat and i couldn't move to even pick it up that's how terrified i was, i watched this object come towards my car so i ducked down in my seat as it went by right beside my car i could see the pattern on this object changing it was just making a buzzing like sound not loud at all i watched it go over the tree lines and the colors on it turned green and it had it beams pointing on the ground like it was exploring the earth, when I looked again it shot off into the sky, I can't make this up, I don't want to see nothing like this again, I call Georgetown county police department to report it but i didn't think they took me serious.. I called my boyfriend to tell him and he said I should of recorded it, I told him I couldn't move I was scared and almost had a heart attack in my car, this is something I will never forget!!! We are not alone!!!!

Clear bright day. Brown bronze colored egg shaped, not perfectly round. Altitude guessing 4-5000 feet. Moving NE to SW at a steady rate of speed. Originally I thought it was a large bird riding the wind but it never flapped its wings or changed course. It took a few seconds for my mind to really grasp what it wasn’t before I could try and figure out what it was. Total time elapsed was about 30-45 seconds before the edge of the house restricted my view of it. No sound, no trail.

I was in my driveway talking to my wife on my phone and I noticed a object that looked like an orange ball coming from the northwest heading to the northeast. It didn't make any sound. I recorded about 51 seconds of it and I think it either vanished or disappeared into the clouds. It was very overcast that evening and the cloud deck was very low. I wasn't able to get it on video when I first saw it coming in my direction, I told my wife I was seeing something strange and I would call her back after I finished videoing the object.

Lights appeared to follow each other one at a time in a line, then totally disappeared.

As I’m traveling passenger side from Conway to Charleston. What first caught my attention were about 7 airplanes around the same area, normal but still something to look at. As I continue to ponder at those planes an object sort of just appeared, I must have blinked because one second it wasn’t there and the next it was. It resembled that of a scalene triangle. Reflecting sun light tremendously. It was gone as fast as it came. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
