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 was outside viewing about 7 or so before I ran inside to grab my cell phone, it was in my room so grabbed my mothers. I filmed for 6 minutes or so, ran back inside to get my mom to witness and handed her her phone. I ran to my room and grabbed my phone because its newer so I figured it was a better camera. I sent the video to my cousin who is a sergeant in the marines and asked if these looked like drones, flares or something else military oriented. He said: "I have no clue what that could’ve been. No way it was a drone or flare with the way those were moving that’s really cool though." While sky lanterns are illegal in FL I know people will break the law so entertained these objects could be that, but in one video an orb disappears then reappears in the 6:04 video (within the first 17 seconds or so), and the lot of them move backwards. It was not breezy at all out, you can see there is no movement in the treetops. I suppose a pocket of air up high could have caused the backwards movement.

My wife and I were walking our dog and she normally looks up at the stars, then she told me to look up and asked me what is that? And we saw this boomerang-shaped object moving swiftly above our heads, it did not have lights that we could see, but its uniformly gray-like color was distinguishable from the clouds at the time. It moved in a straight line North to South at a consistent pace. It looked like it was high enough for us not to hear engines, but moved rather quickly over a cluster of clouds were we lost sight of it. We went to look online for similar sightings and the one we saw resembles the picture from 2016: ARTICLE-BOOMERANG-KEN-PFEIFER-5-14-16-..-JPEG.jpg

Finishing walking dogs, 2 women who are both Registered Nurses and neighbors looked up to the east sky and noticed a white light that looked as if it was spraying water or ‘rooster tailing’ water from the left side of the light. One woman told the other that she didn’t want to get sprayed with anything. This object looked as if it was approx 5 miles away. The white light was not round but more vertically oval shaped. The light never was directly straight but more pointing to the area that looked like it was spraying or rooster tailing as in water skiing. I likened it to one of the light bulbs in the ceiling that is called an eye but the right side of the light was covered and the beam seemed directionally pointed to the left. The light looked as if it was heading west, in our direction but then suddenly disappeared. The only thing left of its location was a white cloud from the ‘rooster tail’ that was again off to the left of the light. The evening sun was setting in the west and it was a beautiful clear sky. There seemed to be a haze around this light and I asked the other woman if she thought there was fog up there but then we saw a plane flying above and behind this light that was not surrounded by 'fog'. It was very strange and both of us have never seen anything like this before.

There are at least 4 that have been in the night sky not moving since November 2019. Some hv multiple colors blinking. Red/blue/Orange. Two are very bright white lights that move around the inside the sphere with many lines. I can’t believe there are no reports as they are always in the sky.

1/01/2020 Approximately 1440 I was sitting in my backyard, the sky was perfectly clear. I saw an object moving west at a relatively slow pace at an approximate altitude of 1500 ft. It seemed to be rotating and the sun was reflecting off of it. I watched the object for about 1 to 1.5 minutes before I decided to grab some binoculars to get a better look. I reacquired the object looking through the binoculars and could see that it was an orangish color and was definitely rotating at a steady slow pace. It seemed to be shaped like a parachute canopy. I watched it through the binoculars for about 1 min before I lost sight of it due to a tree line behind my home. I'm a professional pilot with 15 years experience and It was definitely not an airplane or helicopter. Oddly enough as I decided to document the sighting a police helicopter showed up in the exact same area and flew around for some time at a higher than normal altitude.
