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.

While fishing Friday night I saw a green streak in the sky. I WAS AMAZED after I realized it was moving and traveling across the sky. The craft traveled in a straight line formation and stayed the exact distance from each other as they streaked across the sky. There was around 8-12 craft following a line one behind the other. They were traveling North and they were coming from the direction of the Naval Air Station Lemoore which struck me as odd. It could have been something from the airbase but I have never seen planes in the sky from this area that seemed so strange. They glowed green and appeared as a green streak in the sky. There was no sound at all coming from the sky and was one behind the other in a row. I have seen planes fly in formation but it was side by side or v formation, never in a straight line like this. I could not tell how far away they were but they must have been high in the atmoshpere [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]
