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.

Daytime sighting with clear skies. Object looked to be stationary in the skies over Norwalk, ca for the duration of the approximately 30 I was able to keep in view while riding in the back seat of friends car traveling on Hwy 91 east. Object appeared to be metallic and reflected the sun strongly at the end of sighting due to angle of sight. It looked to be cigar shape but not completely uniform. I got a good enough view for a long enough time to realize it was not a plane or blimp due to the irregular shape, metallic finish and the fact that it did not seem to move at all while hovering at approximately 500ft-1000ft above the city. The distance from me was just enough for my eyes to not completely be able to focus and understand exactly what I was looking at but to me it's what I know it wasn't that only leaves an anomaly as a explanation. I believe many others closer could and should easily have long duration of views of this object and I'm curious to see if similar reporting are sent in by any one else that witnessed the same object.

My Nephew ask me to come and look and tell him what this was in the sky. I went out and saw a line of six objects in the sky moving from the west to the east. You could see more were coming up from the horizon and this continued for about 20 mins. They were in a straight line and were disappearing as they got higher in the sky. They were orange, had three lights in a triangle shape and a white light in the center. The pictures and video don't look like what we were seeing. ( to far away) Blowing them up didn't help because they were moving.

July 31st, 2020, At about 3:38 pm. I was cleaning my pool in my backyard when one of my children came out to see if the pool was ready (I was already out there for about 30 minutes) the time was about 3:38pm when something caught my attention in the sky above us. There was this white sphere the was just hovering there at the high noon, in the sky. I first got my cellphone to take pictures then record video. But after a few minutes I needed something better to get a closer look at the object. I told my child to get my high zoom digital camera and then I started afterwards to take pictures and videos. There was one main white sphere/egg object, multiple small shiny objects moving or shooting around the sky randomly, another white sphere like object but small and one white/greenish sphere. The main object would stay in one spot for a few minutes then would move at a creeping pace then stop again. It did that for the rest of the sighting. At one time there was a shiny small object going down next to the main obj! ect then make a 90 degree turn upward. After that it made another slight turn then disappeared. I was recording at that point and the camera went out of focus. It kept moving west from the east towards to horizon (sunset area). At about 6:20pm before I went inside the house the main object disappeared at about 30 degrees from the horizon to the west. All of that happened in that time frame. My whole family was witness to the event.

Thought maybe it was a helicopter or airplane that seemed to be coming in my direction, but then it just kind of stopped and faded away.

9 orange lights in the sky heading NE in 2 groupings; 4 in the first, followed by 5. They first appeared travelling fairly low, horizontal to the ground. After two or three minutes the angle of flight grew steeper until they were heading almost straight up. Upon reaching a certain altitude they could no longer be seen. Within the 2 groupings smaller groups of twos and threes apparently synchronized their movements.

I had glanced up at the sky around 2100 yesterday and again at around midnight and were only able to see a handful of dimly lit stars. I couldn't see Orion's belt or even the North Star. I also could not locate the International Space Station. At approximately 0530 I laid down on a couch we have next to a big sliding window that leads to the pool in the back yard. The window faces east. That is when I first took notice of the bright light hovering in the distance. The light was very bright and had an unmistakable sparkle to it. I was looking directly at it expecting for it to move but nothing was happening. Around 0600 a second light, relatively dim, but with the same sort of shape and sparkle appeared far in the distance to the East. I then noticed that, at least the original light I had spotted was actually moving west, albeit ever so slowly. I grabbed my iPhone and took some pictures and a short, 1 minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKPx65li2VU By 0630 the original light had moved past the upper boundary of the sliding window and it was no longer visible to me from my vantage point. But it was still there. I know this because every so often I would get up and move my body closer to the window as I stretched my neck looking for it. I was looking at the second light, wondering what these things could be. Suddenly, I see what I can only describe as a triangle shaped ball of fire moving from south to north, or left to right of my window. My first thought was that this was the original light I had been looking at because it was just as bright, perhaps brighter. It moved quickly and left my field of view in a matter of seconds. I jumped to my feet to get a better look where it was heading. It is not difficult to spot a bright light in the early morning sky. I followed it attentively as it traveled north and then it simply disappeared. Gone. Just like that. Almost as if someone had hit the light switch. I blinked a couple of times. It was gone. I found myself disappointed for not having captured it on video. The sky was starting to turn blue by this time and the two original lights I had been looking at seemed to be the only bright objects in the sky. I went inside, grabbed my iPhone and shot a couple of pictures. I continued looking at these lights until the morning sun made them disappear.
