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 saw plasma orbs and UFO. I had an experience on election night 20/20 and it took took my breath away it was beautiful it was approximately 18 in away 4 inches off the ground gold and purple dense but translucent barely a whirring sound and it was 18 inches away from me for almost I would say 10 seconds and then as fast as well faster than what we can think of it was going I went to thirds of my property and made it right into the cedars and then I saw my second sighting 4 months later after the second thing I saw it all the time if there's not all clouds in the sky if there's any clearing they're there

It was an object that looked diamond shaped, and around the shape were four and a half “smoke rings” surrounding the upper portion, and one “smoke ring” on the lower right side. One half portion appears to be below the craft on the right also, a second “half-smoke ring” can be seen on the left but isn’t visible full. The image was taken when my cell phone slipped out of my hands, and then fell into the driver’s side of my car. I then picked up my cell phone and the picture was visible to me, but I didn’t erase the image from the memory, About three days later I examined the photo for a quick second. But I did not find anything to be unusual, And then Seven days later I decided to look at the image again. That is where I saw a small Black “dot” shape in the Cloudy sky. I still did not examine the image entirely until Today, and now I know it looks like a UFO. It could be described as a Helicopter, but the rings are unusual to see. Because I did not hear or se! e any helicopter’s at the time of the image being shot. It is just a dot in the sky, or could be my window with a spot on it, Unfortunately my window’s were cleaned a few days prior.

Woke up abruptly at 2:10 am, was burning hot so I decided to go outside to see the meteor shower. I shut off all outside lights and reclined on my zero gravity chair in the front yard. Immediately saw what was either a rod, cigar or rectangle ufo with extremely bright lights on both end appear over me. It moved to southeast and then the lights dimmed down and then went out. I saw the other normal ufos in the next 45 minutes that burst a light and fly like they are zig zag floating in many different directions but the one I am reporting was not a usual sight. There are always craft here. The frogs, crickets, crows, etc. Were completely silent. That is also bizarre. Usually the ones that burst light make the dogs on the block bark and that is how I know to check the skies. We are in a very rural area where people have horses, barn animals, etc.

My husband, brother and myself were sitting outside around a fire in the backyard after dark. Through the trees, I first saw a chevron shaped object that almost blended in with the night sky, but caught my eye because it seemed almost reflective or mimicking the night sky. It had lights outlining the trangular object which looked like very dim, distant stars at first glance. It only stayed put for what may have been about three seconds. The "craft" seemed to be very large and moved slowly at fist towards the north, then sped up until it blended in with the stars. I told my husband and brother to look as soon as I realized it was moving, but only my husband saw it and only for a second before it was moving away too fast for him to turn around and see it better. Then a few minutes later as I was trying to describe what I saw, it came again but on the opposite side of our fire this time. We all saw it. I'm not sure if it was the same one or a s! econd, but it looked the same. However, this time it was accompanied by what sounded like a flock of geese. Coincidence or not, it was almost as if it wanted us to think that's all it was. It even started moving south at a speed that geese would fly for a few seconds and then shot off. For weeks after this event, my brother terrified us all with strange behavior and rants about aliens and religion. We even took him to the emergency room to make sure he wasn't on drugs. He wasn't. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
