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 live near 2 major international airports: JFK and LaGuardia airport, I see and hear jet airplanes fly by daily. I have never seen anything like this before. This aircraft had 3 large steady white lights on the underside of it. 2 of the lights which were perpendicular to direction of travel were closer together than the other light. These 3 large lights instead of being points of light were about the size of a quarter from my perspective which means these lights were very large and this aircraft was very close to the ground. The other light which was furthest away from the other 2 lights were in the direction of travel, which leads me to believe the aircraft is triangular, but because it was night I could not see the shape of the aircraft. I am used to seeing passenger jets at night they always have 1 red, 1 green, and a flashing white light which I can see from the underside. All of these lights are typically small and at night appear as points of light. This aircraft had none of the usual lights I see on the underside of passenger planes. Another extremely odd thing is the aircraft was flying extremely low. Other than when I am right next to an airport I have never seen an airplane this low. This is a residential area and the planes have to fly a minimum altitude much higher than this aircraft. The other extremely odd thing is this aircraft flying at extremely low altitude made absolutely no sound. Planes flying overhead at much higher altitudes than this aircraft was flying would make a huge sound. I have been to military airshows, and also have seen F35 or F22 flying overhead in my neighborhood, they make huge sounds. The time we saw an F35/F22 (I am not sure which one it was) fly overhead at low altitude, I thought every single window in my apartment was going to shatter. With this aircraft sighting tonight, if I did not happen to be looking in the sky when those lights were overhead, I would have never have known that this aircraft was there. It was that quiet, no perceivable sound was being emitted. The last thing I would say it was flying at incredible speed. If I had my cellphone in hand with my camera ready to take a picture, I doubt it would have be able to catch it. Overhead I had about 40 degrees of field of view which it flew threw my field of vision. It went through those 40 degrees in less than 1 second. Regular passenger aircraft probably would have covered that distance in 2-3 seconds. I am not expert in aircraft, but I am an enthusiast of military aircraft. I also was an astronomy, physics, engineering major in college, and I live next to 2 of the busiest international airports in the world. I would say this is something which I cannot explain. This was either a top secret stealth military aircraft or alien technology. The 2 things that make me think this is alien technology is the speed and the proximity to the ground this thing was flying. I am not sure if we have the technology to make an aircraft go that fast and yet make no perceivable sound.

Craft that changed directions and hovered multiple times (up, down, left, right), that was easily distinguishable from a plane.

Flushing, NY
Diamond shaped object which flew past Kissena Corridor Park. It was not a bird, because I was watching the hawks circle above Botanical Gardens. And it was not a plane, as I’ve seen those come and go. I watched it fly past for a minute or two. Seems like it may have been black, with a light that shined occasionally. Not sure if the light was coming from it, or if it was a reflection off the surface, from the sun. But the light is how I knew initially, that it wasn’t a bird.

Orange orb of light floated through my backyard, within 10-15 feet of me. It was basketball-sized & bioluminescent, like a jellyfish. Within the sphere (whose size remained constant, there was another circle that would shift, expanding and contracting. like the pupil of an eye. it seemed to be looking around, and it looked at me. i managed to grab my ipad to film, but as soon as i started moving, it zipped up over my neighbors roof & hovered there. Before that, it had been drifting, slowly, so I lowered the camera for a moment to see if it would come back. It didn't, but as soon as i snapped the camera but up, it zips off to the left. The clip is here https://youtu.be/_5Oeauv_xC0 Sorry i didn't get a video while it was closer. I was in shock for a few moments, but nothing supernaturally induced or anything like that. I've just never seen anything like it.

On the 5th of July, left over fireworks tend to be used by neighbors around the area. I sat on my porch and observed the scattered fireworks crackle in the sky. However, unlike the expected movement of light with any firework (a ball of light going up, reaction/crackle in the sky, slowly trickles down) I saw something that moved very differently. What I saw was a small red or orange circle going up in the sky at a 45° angle (or at a slope) extremely fast. Mind you this sighting was a few seconds, but as this ball of light continued to travel it suddenly stops and a flash of light appears or opens up in the sky. As the flash of light was about to close or disappear the light (or ball of light I don’t know at this point) continued its straight path and also disappears. There was no sound, just a visual, and again this was a few seconds. The closest thing I can use as an example would be a reference to the light speed scene in Star Wars The Last Jedi - Holdos Sacrifice.
