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.

I was in my backyard and was looking at the night sky as I often do and almost in my exact line of sight I witnessed a perfect triangle craft with 3 dim white lights on each point move silently across the horizon from SE to NW from my location. My guess it was about 1500 feet off the deck and moving around 500 miles an hour. I never saw it change direction or speed but the fact it was so quiet at that speed was eerie. I saw it for about 3.5 secs before it was no longer visible but I couldn't have seen it any more clear and couldn't have any less doubts about its shape.

it was west of my location assuming above the gulf of mexico out side palm harbor. It was much brighter than any star I have seen and much lower. If I had to guess around a couple miles up. It wobbled a bit in its location but never moved much. About every two to five seconds there would be beams of light that would shine out from the center in all different directions and patterns.

Equally compared to the elevation and speed that a helicopter flies. There was absolutely no audible sound. It appeared invisible although it blocked out some stars as it traveled southward. There were 2 orange lights. One on each end. The lights were small and dimly lit.

I went to let the dogs outside before going to bed. The moon was full & bright in the eastern sky and when I turned and looked in the western sky, I thought I saw 2 planes coming, but realized they were not flashing lights like a plane does, and had a very pearlescent or yellowish glow that you don’t see on regular planes. They moved quickly through the sky but stayed in formation with each other and the thing that struck me most strange, was how quiet it was.

Nine glowing globes shot across the sky at low altitude without making a sound. Glowing globes were yellow/orange like fire.

Chilling with my friends on one of our cars outside of my house, stargazing. From behind my roof I see a formation of 4 lights emerge, I thought initially it was a plane. But it moved too quickly to be a plane, as within seconds, it seemed to make around a 75 degrees arc possibly, before fading. It did not go behind trees or under the horizon, just faded into the sky. Although I tried to divert the attention of my friends to the object, it disappeared before they saw it.
