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.

Our Ring doorbell captured event as person detected. When I watched back the film I didn’t see anyone however there was 2 blinking lights 10 feet from the ground facing the house with movement and then it appeared to go behind a pine tree we have at the corner of the house. The lights were very bright and could still be seen. Video clip was 30 seconds.

Saw spear or teardrop structure streaming across the sky with a vapor trail and cast off glare from the rising sun. The object was heading east, north east.

1 craft initiayly. Fiery red orb (assumed as a helicopter from distance) passed over slowly at low altitude. No flashing lights to indicate object as an aircraft or drone. No accompanying sound, completely silent. Ascended into clouds. 12 seconds later 2 more identical craft followed and ascended in the same fashion. Objects were illuminated with a dark crimson hue, glow was bright in center with an exterior similar that of a low burning flame.

I was just outside with a friend and we watched what was either several aircraft pass one at a time or just one flying the same area over and over - the lights were out of sync (two solid, one red blinking, and another blinking at a different, faster interval). It/they were flying above cloud level, but big enough to see all the separate lights, and moving very quickly. We kept seeing the same thing over and over coming from north and east, all headed south-west. I'm quite familiar with the typical flight paths of the local planes, as I see them every day, and this was not normal. I entered a duration of 15 minutes, but that's only as long as I was outside. I saw the first one as soon as I stepped out, and they were still going when I went inside.

While walking to my girlfriends house I saw disks of light circling each other since it was near Halloween I thought they were just decorations but they seemed to follow me. They kept ahead of me and every so often they would disappear. Eventually I noticed that they were doing a pattern (they circled each other and then came together to for one spinning disk with thick edges). I know they weren't just flood lights or something related because they kept following me for about half a mile and always kept about the same distance in front of me. Eventually I was offered a ride and made it to my girlfriend's house and after that I kind of forgot about them.
