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.

Let dog out and saw large number of reddish lights moving east to west. They moved slowly over a large park up a hill from my house. There was no discernible sound. I called my husband out and he counted a total of 23 lights in the sky. Most were in 2 main groups. A couple followed by themselves. The lights moved behind a tree and as I moved to continue to watch the lights they were gone. Single lights contined to appear from what seemed like one place in the sky. The single lights were moving in a line across the sky. They seemed to reach some point and were gone. There would be a short break where I could see no lights. Then a light would appear and 2 or 3 more would follow in a line. Then there would be a short break again and it would start again. My husband stopped watching when the large groups were gone. I contined to watch and walk around for 15 minutes or so. When I came in the single lights continued. We were going to go up to the park but t! he lights were gone when I checked 15 minutes later. We are near Ft. Drum, so could be something military. However, no sound so not helicopters. Seems like an awful lot of drones. I don't know if drones make noise. No reports in the media of the lights. My husband and I are both professionals. Never have seen anything like this before. I took pictures of the lights -- don't show much, except 10 lights in the sky.
