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 looked out of my glass deck door and saw a glowing light which looked odd and not like an airplane. It looked orange and white. I ran to my room to grab my phone and caught it on video for a few and then it disappeared. I also saw aircraft activity near it but this did not resemble an airplane or helicopter. The encounter laster about a minute or so after I saw it but it could've been there longer. I also have been noticing other glowing strange lights lately plus extra airplane activity and saw another white round glowing light last week but it was moving slowly. My and my girlfriend both saw the one last week but the one tonight I saw alone. This one looked lower to the ground and closer. I also noticed my outside flood light which hasn't worked in 2 years flicker for about 2 hours a week ago which I found strange.

I heard fireworks going off in the distance while on the phone in my driveway about to leave when 2 round bright orbs started to come over the trees so I grabbed my other phone to record as I thought there where no more 2 appeared from the same path following each other then another followed as another followed then stopped. I then left to follow them as I pulled down the street and took a left on jog hill rd 2 more following each other in the same path as the others so I quickly recorded them as they pasted over the trees I turned downed Daniel's farm rd I witnessed a cop car stopped in front of the Trumbull high school farm witnessing the same balls of light I saw. I tried to follow them but they began to quickly sped up and took off in the distance headed south it looked like toward Bridgeport, CT. I was in shock with my girlfriend on the phone the whole time giving her a play by play. I took videos and still shots. Definitely where no Chinese candle things in a bag as ppl tried to say it was from my videos because these balls of light where intelligent and moving at different speeds. I know I couldn't have been the only person to see this. Some ppl that night may have brushed it off as fireworks but these where no fireworks or plane or helicopter. Not to long after I witnessed 2 helicopters flying low and fast. Maybe government idk.

As I looked in the sky being a very clear night looking for shooting stars, next to the big dipper I see what appears to be a star but after watching it move across the sky away from the dipper at a steady pace and I watched it just disappear in the night sky. It was really high no planes fly that high plus it was stationary when I 1st witnessed it. I never witnessed something so amazing. Soon after towards the left of me I see a shooting star fly across the opposite side which I thought was crazy since I looked up to see if I would see 1 out of the blue and bam there that was. I don't know what else it could be but a UFO. Really cool to see. Bright and lite up all around. White light
