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 am a new airline pilot and my Captain was a very experienced airline pilot flying jets for almost 30 years. We had never seen anything like this before. My captain asked me to take a look at a “star” that was northwest of our position, seemingly very far from us and about 30 degrees above the horizon. This “star” was shining brighter than anything else in the sky, other than the moon which was behind us. Over the course of a few seconds, this object dimmed its brightness until it was invisible, then a few seconds later began to brighten back to the original brightness. This occurred maybe 4 or 5 times. This light was not moving relative to the stars at this time. After the last dimming, we began to see multiple lights that looked like stars (at least 3 objects possibly 4), but they began moving in very strange ways. They appeared to be orbiting each other, then stationary, then they would move very fast across the sky and sometimes change direction rapidly. One of them dove down and disappeared on the horizon faster than anything I have ever seen or heard of. After about 20 minutes of this, we stopped seeing any more activity from that area. We had our main Flight Attendant observe the area of the sky after we stopped seeing the activity and she was unable to see anything as well. We did not report the sighting to ATC and we were not monitoring “guard” frequency to see if anyone else had seen something similar. In the map posted below, I made a red dot showing our approximate location. The green arrow shows our approximate flight path, and the orange arrow shows the direction of the objects (please note I cannot estimate distance to the objects)

We were at a Baylor baseball game and me and my husband and three other people just saw what we believe were UFOs. It was between 2pm and 2:03pmThey looked like triangular shiny and spinning but not moving, just stationary and you could barely barely see them and they weren't that high up but high enough that they had to have been large enough for us to see them with the naked eye. They were like specks of glitter but stationary, not moving at all and then we blinked and they were gone after about 3 minutes. We could tell they were spinning or rotating though because they would reflect the light.

On 05/25/2020 at approximately 23:15 I witnessed a softball sized orb flashing in the backyard of my residence. At a distance I assumed the flashing was a lightning bug. As the orb approached the window I was observing it stopped moving and started glowing with a blueish white light. At this point it stayed stationary for a few seconds right in front of me. At this time there was a thunderstorm approximately twenty miles from my location so I assumed this was just ball lightning. Then a bright beam of white fast flickering light appeared and scanned from my feet to my head. Once it reached the top of the window frame the flickering light stopped and the glowing object shot up and exited my field of vision.

I was coming home from getting food and my street was super dark and I’m obsessed with the stars and been praying to see a UFO! Today was my lucky day my dreams came true!! I looked up and saw this aircraft zooming so fast through sky and I knew it wasn’t a plane! Planes cannot move like this! I just kept watching it, next thing I know, a little closer a ufo flashed across the sky closer to me like it felt like the other ufo acknowledged me by flashing by and disappearing quickly! I’ve really been wishing to meet a Pleidian but once the blue craft with blue light came by closer I took off running into my mom house! Guess I wasn’t as ready as I assumed! But, I have literally been looking at the skies for 2 weeks saying please I want to see a UFO! I believed and gave it energy! The human race is under surveillance absolutely!!! No doubt in my mind!!!

Triangle shaped object, three red lights, one on each point of the triangle. It moved in a rapid straight line. Moved quickly.
