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.

My dad took these pictures on his phone at 3am. He watched this blue circular object move up, down and to the sides for almost two hours. Some people say it could be a satellite, but I didn't think they moved in different directions in the same place for almost two hours. I have 3 short videos also if there's a good place to upload. My dad thinks is was maybe a mile or so out, but it seemed close and pretty large.

For the course of 30 minutes we witnessed what we thought was just a satellite moving across the night sky, but then shortly after (10 to 30 seconds) there was another from the same direction forming a line. There were at least thirty in a row moving west from Lake Elsinore area toward Riverside/Moreno Valley... these were small lights, moving very fast. It was very odd especially since planes are not flying at the moment. There was no sound either. After 30 minutes there was no more activity and the sky was quiet.

I was driving my children home from dinner and my son pointed at something in the sky that looked like a large floating city. I pulled over my vehicle to get a better vantage point on what he was seeing. We could see what appeared like an enormous craft moving from west to east. I took out my phone and began taking pictures. After taking several pictures, the craft appeared to combine intro one large bright light initially and then the light multiplied into several separate bright lights totaling around 12 separate lights. The lights appeared to be descending from the craft towards the ground at a very rapid descent. Within seconds of their descent, the lights vanished along with the larger craft. I have photos of each step of this event captured to the best of my ability. I was shaken, and could not believe what I had just witnessed. During the entire event, there appeared be several helicopters circling the large craft. We could faintly make out the sound ! of the helicopters, which numbered at least 6-8. They remained in the area circling the same area even after the craft disappeared.

Somebody just passed a BS story of a missile test at 1807. You don't test missiles over a dam residential neighborhood. Missile launch. PD

I was about to enter my home with my brother around 9:00 pm on June 13, 2017 after a couple hours playing Pokémon Go when I saw a bright white spherical object moving at about the speed you would expect an airplane to move almost directly above my location. It was a fairly clear night but the elevation of the object was unclear. The object was brighter than the stars behind it and was moving north to south from my location in Murrieta, CA. I decided to watch the object to see if it had the blinking lights that you would typically see on an aircraft such as an airplane or helicopter. As I watched the object I never saw any of those blinking lights. Then the strange part happened. The object gained speed over the Temecula valley and it also started to rapidly gain altitude. The once bright spherical object that was over my head was now abruptly getting dimmer and further and further away and eventually completely disappeared over the constellation Scorpios. This all happened in a time span of about 2 minutes. I continued to watch the sky for several more minutes and I did not see any sign of the object again.

Saturday 08/24/16 Approx: 12:20-12:30 I was making a right turn heading northeast. As I turned the corner at the light, there is a group or a very large palm tree right at the corner on my left as I start up the street. To the right of the palm tree, I observed something in the sky that I had never seen before. There was a white rectangular object hanging in the sky. It looked like a flat screen TV. I slowed down and rolled down my window to see if there was any sound and there wasn’t. I was expecting it would move but it didn’t. I thought it might be an ad on a blimp and I would see writing but I didn’t. I looked back several times over my left shoulder, and could tell it wasn’t attached to anything, nor did it produce any advertisements. There were no lights attached. I was curious that it had a mist behind it, as well as a clumpy looking cloud on the left hand side. I can’t remember if it was upper or lower but was on the left hand side. I was so focused on the object that I don’t recall any other vehicles around the area. I was concerned about causing an accident, so, I started driving faster and paying attention to the road. Further up the road, before reaching my left turn I thought I would take one last look over my left shoulder and see if I could see it. I was startled to see a black one directly to my left. Same exact shape, mist behind it, as well as the exact same clump of cloud appearance, only this cloud was darker. The mist and clouds did not look a real cloud produced by nature. I slowed down almost to a stop and stared. It didn’t move. Once again I felt I was a hazard so drove to my left turn to get home. I thought I would never see it again, but, took one last look back. my sight was obstructed by tall trees and houses so, I couldn’t see it if it was still there. I thought, I will just focus on getting home safely. I proceeded to my last left turn to get home and as I looked to the right to see if there were any cars coming I saw a grey one. It was moving fast an! d was already quite a distance away. It was headed northeast. ! Instead of turning on my street, I followed the road to the right and was going to stop and get a picture. By the time I stopped it was moving so fast I couldn’t get my cell phone out to take a picture. I couldn’t see any dimension to the objects other than they were rectangular, and they were not shiny. They were more of a matte. When I first saw the white object, I voice texted my sister and told her, “I am looking at the closest thing to a UFO I have ever seen.” Neither of us had ever heard of any rectangular UFO sightings before my event. I don't know if this was one UFO turning colors or if it was in fact 3 separate.
