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’m the passenger in the car, and I see a bright light in the sky to my northeast (going southbound) which I thought was Jupiter or a bright star. I ignore it, a few seconds pass and we end up driving underneath it. No flashing lights like a plane, just a bright ball in the sky. I followed it with my eye the whole time until I couldn’t see it anymore. I usually like to look at the planes near where I live and I can tell the difference. I couldn’t believe we drove under it.

Saw odd light on Ring video recording. It is a light that traveled in one direction & then started back in the same direction where it came from. The light is in the top left, above the garages. Direction is N.-N.E. of my residence. Thought it might be a plane from the flashes of light, but it was going behind tree branches. I have sent two recordings, 1 of the traveling light & one from the same day during the daylight so you can see tree line.

I was out in my front yard yesterday evening watering my plants while my 2 children were riding their bikes in our street when my 10 year old son started yelling mom a shooting star! I didn’t think anything about it and went about watering my flowers. Then my daughter also yelled out and then they both yelled mom you gotta see this it’s spinning! So I thought that’s strange shooting stars don’t spin! I walked into the street where they were and I witnessed an orangish glowing orb stop spinning in a circle (spinning as if you were to draw a circle motion in the sky with your finger) and then went up higher straight into the atmosphere until it went behind clouds and disappeared.

I saw about 30 lights moving to the NE in a straight line, about equally spaced. The lights looked higher and faster than airplanes.

Driving down hwy 65. Saw something rectangular shaped in sky but wasn’t moving. Pulled off next street to take photo and it was gone. I don’t normally believe in this stuff, but this spooked me out big time, and I had to share.

Looked like it was falling from the sky. Like a shooting star. Fell Northwards. Spotted as I was heading towards the intersection of 125th and Harper's Street, Near Woods at Quail Creek .
