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.

It was a starless, cloudy night, but a shiny object attracted my attention. With my binoculars, I could see a round object hovering in the sky. It was not moving and I believe it could be there for several hours. it had 2 main big lights surrounded by hundreds of beautiful bright lights. It reminded me of what a city looks like from an airplane. I took pictures.

Over Long Island. A Piper PA-32R Saratoga (N161MA) was flying over Huntington, Long Island during a trip between Minute Man Airfield in Massachusetts and Old Bridge Airport in New Jersey when the pilot encountered a strange object directly in front of his aircraft. He called air traffic controllers stating "I have an object in front of me, I don't know what it is." The controller replies "You mean like a drone or something?" The pilot responds: "I don't know if it's a drone... It's bigger than a drone." The controller responds "Ummmm, I don't show anything on radar." The controller then asks if the object is at his same altitude, the pilot responds in the affirmative. Then the controller asks if the pilot needs to make a turn to avoid the object and the pilot requests a slight change in direction. The controller then queries the pilot to report what he thinks the mysterious craft is as soon as he can. The pilot respond! s that he has no idea what it is and it has since gone behind a cloud. "Definitely something was there" the pilot states. The controller seems oddly adamant that they should assume it was a drone, stating "Ok, I mean, we'll have to assume that it was a drone, that's the only, I mean I don't know if that's the shape assumption or not but I guess that's what we will go by." The pilot responded, "Actually, it looked, uh, like it had lights on it." The controller responds "That's uh, really interesting, uh again, I show nothing on radar so I don't know what to say." The pilot then states "Ok and I know I'm not delusional." The next transmission we hear is from the controller asking the pilot to call in and make a report with specifics about the incident once he lands. He notes that the request is from his manager. The pilot quips "this is the first time I'm getting a phone number that I'm not in trouble!." The controll! er laughs and affirms to him he is not in trouble. He then pas! ses him the number and says they will be awaiting his call. The Piper stayed at about 6,000 feet during the cruise portion of its flight. Weather that day included clear to partly cloudy skies with the temperature in the 80s and benign winds. (The WarZone, June 19, 2018) http://www.nicap.org/match/audios/May-26-2018-1630Z%202.mp3

ME and my girlfriend and her friend were driving down the road and i looked up and saw oddly strange light formation above in the sky, the lights were yellowish fiery color looked like a cheveron shape and it moved from east to west slowly then the lights started to fade and the lights moved in separate directions. for some reason, source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

A round glow hiding behind a cloud slowly faded and then four smaller but identical shapes appeared on all four corners, at first i thought it was the moon behind the clouds until the four shapes appeared and then faded.

Previously submitted a report a few hours ago, I determined that the objects seen were actually a result of NASA's rocket launch. I wish to withdraw, thank you and my apologies for the false alarm.
