Formation over Hiddenite, NC
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
Long line of lights (maybe 12 or more) moving from the west, coming over a farmers field. Lights were white, solid, no other colors noted and it was moving slow, perpendicular to the ground then whatever this was changed course and started to move north, slightly angled, moved over a tree line and then disappeared. Whatever this was, it was low and I really couldn't make out any shape due to the darkness outside. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

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.
