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.

This happens more than often out in Beecher but we always see this orbs sometimes one, or three or four all over the sky changing colors, staying for a while, or leaving and appearing quickly, they maneuver unlike common aircrafts, all over at a fast speed.

I witnessed a group of objects moving Southeast on the same flight path, perfectly spaced and moving at the same speed. They looked like stars or satellites.I counted approximately 16 before I watched the last one disappear from the horizon.
