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 the first one around 1 hour earlier at 12:47am. I already submitted that story. I woke back up an hour later and this one seemed to be much lower, but farther away. It was flashing on and off so my camera could barely pick it up. If I hadn't already seen the one before I would have thought it was a planet, but this one was moving back and forth turning on and off. When it was on it was flashing yellow, orange, red and green. It went under the tree-line before I could see it take off again.

It was very high in the sky. It was a little larger than what mars looks like when we can see it at night. Hovering for about 3-4 minutes, flashing orange, red, yellow and green. After 3-4 minutes it did a circle and then took off into space at a physically impossible speed and left behind a trail of light as it zoomed away. I have a picture showing it’s a ring with an open center and a blurry video that shows the colors flashing. I don’t know where I can submit this to but I put it on social media.

Object was thinner than a blimp, but fatter than a cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no windows and it was flying low enough that features like this would've been perceptible. It appeared to be made of metal and it was close enough that the witness could see ribbed features, almost able to make out bolts in it as though individual sheets of metal were fashioned together vertically. It felt like something manmade, somewhat primitive, not by any means advanced, but it was like nothing he'd ever seen before. It flew slow overhead across the Taconic State Parkway. He watched it fly over his car until it was completely out of sight (mainly due to the winding of the road) but it flew slow and low. He watched it from the driver's side window to the farthest stretch of the right end of his dashboard. Nothing protruded from it like you'd expect to see from a blimp. It felt like machinery, like something that should've had an engine making a lot of noise, especially for ! how low it was flying, but when he lowered the volume on his radio and opened his window all he heard was typical highway sounds (wheels on the pavement).

After midnight, 12:24 am on January 1, 2015, I was on my back deck with my dog when I observed 2 bright red lights in the sky. I thought at first they were fireworks, because of New Year's celebrations, but then they started to move horizontally across the sky, west to east. I ran to get my daughter, who came outside with her daughter, and by that time the lights had moved across the sky to the front of the house and were disappearing over the trees. Then we went back in the house, and as we were looking out the back window, we saw another of the same lights, flying in the same direction. These lights seemed to flicker or change color, and were moving at the speed of a plane, but the lights were too large to be a plane. When I first saw the two initial lights, they were very close to each other, then got farther apart as they moved east. My only thought as to what this could be would be drones.

Coming out of Carmel cinema, we saw 2 red triangles flying parallel closely to the ground, making no noise. They were flying slowly and then one started to blink until it disappeared. Soon after the other one started to blink and disappeared over the woods. Then driving home we saw 2 more and pulled into the parking lot at Carmel diner to get a better look. They were traveling very low and very slow in the same direction as the other 2, towards Carmel theater until we lost sight of them.
