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.

Two lights flying parallel to each other, moving faster than an airplane, then disappeared in the horizon. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Never seen anything like it before in my life and I've sailed offshore over 15,000 miles with plenty of satellites, aircraft and shooting star experiences.

The second object either shined a bright light or was hit by a glare from the sun just before it disappeared from view behind some trees. Both objects were a very shiny silver color and looked like a large jet with no wings. They left no vapor cloud behind them as planes do.

E-Mail with sample pictures have been sent to Director for study. Satellite Images using multiple sources have been studied and examined over the course of three months. Similar areas and lakes have been studied to attempt to find a flaw in the satellites images, but none have been found. All USO's (?), are localized in Lake Titicaca in Peru and no where else on the Planet. Studying all images by year has shown a significant change in the behavior of these USO's. These objects are much more abundant near the shores, near the northern and southern areas of the lake and have been pictured over land as well. 2003 shows a drastic decline of these objects in the above areas with 2013 showing even more decline. I believe this is due to the rise in urban areas and the population in general, as well as advancements in satellite imaging technology. Among these objects photographed I have photos from the NASA Earth at Night satellite imagery that shows lights inside Lake Titicaca where there should be no presence of light of the magnitude it is shown. We have looked at several photos, provided by the witness, and all we see is very faint green lights. We do not know what they are, but we have no reason to suspect that they are UFO-related. We will continue to correspond with the source of the information. PD

My girlfriend and I were driving down Maple Ave. Middletown, RI, towards West Main Road, when I pointed out two yellowish-orange lights in the sky. As we continued to drive, we were able to keep up with the objects. We observed the two lights zigzag, and eventually crossed one another. As we continued to drive now on East Main Road, the two objects flew parallel, one trailing slightly behind. Then, we got stuck at a red light at the corner of Shell gas station, the objects flew farther away and out of nowhere disappeared. We continued driving on East Main Rd. to see any signs of them, but saw nothing but sky.
