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.

My dad was driving on Hartford Road at night to go to a clothing store when I noticed a stationary disk shaped object with white lights placed on the top of the object. I then pulled out my phone and recorded the object staying still in the sky. It then started to move and lost some of its lights shaping a triangle. I believe it may have shape-shifted from a disk with lights on top into a triangle shape with lights at its three corners. The object then flew behind some trees and I was unable to view it.

I was fueling up my semi truck when I noticed a helicopter overhead. I take pictures, to my surprise. I also captured an unknown craft underneath the helicopter. It was dark/ Greyish. It was about 500 ft up. Didn't notice the craft til after the fact. When I looked back at pictures and noticed the object.

I was driving home from a friends house at 12:30 at night. I looked up as I slowed to a stop sign and saw it. It seemed too large to be a meteor but was still very high up and far away. The light was a chrome blue and vibrant, never changing color. At first when I fixated on it it was still, like an oversized star. Almost immediately after I registered that thought it shot off quickly and slightly curving away from my position heading directly North. I have seen many meteors in my life and immediately I felt a chill as it was unlike any I had seen. There was also no trail or light distortion as it moved across the sky just a solid light. I lost sight of the light as it passed into the tree line.

My husband and 7yr old heard a noise outside. Upon going to back porch to check it out we witnessed what appeared to be a spaceship. Many objects, light likes just going in a circular motion. Overall shape of activity was like a diamond shape or a spinning type. The "objects" appeared in color of a light bulb and as they moved in a circular motion the center was dimmed but remained still. At some point we saw lights shoot outward like a light explosion but in a very organized fashion like a burst of water. The width of the shape formed by these lights/objects had to be at least 10ft wide and was about 1-2 blocks away from our home but due to the large size it seems as if it was right next door.
