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.

Spotted a white glowing craft in various areas of sky while watching launch go up. Was cylindrical/ saphirical when zooming in on camera and had two bright lights with prism-like Aura around it.

My dog woke me up Saturday morning around 5am to go out. While I was out I saw a bright white orb on the horizon. I watched and took video for about 6 minutes. It pulsated and moved several times coming back to hover. It pulsated red a few times. Ultimately ended up hearing a weird bird or Predator sound and went back inside. Very Strange

3 bright orange objects were seen by a husband and wife age 64 and 58, and their relative, an 88 year old woman visiting from England. The wife is a senior airport supervisor, and the husband, a professional health-medical writer. The objects were moving together in a straight line with a distance between them, travelling from north north west to south west toward Oviedo or Titusville, FL. The objects were solid and consistent in their appearance during the duration of the sighting. There was no sound heard, and no flashing or blinking lights. Their height is hard to determine as their size could not be discerned, but wife thinks the height could have been around 15,000 feet or so.

I was driving into my neighborhood last night at approximately 9:30, and was preparing to park my car in my garage, when I glanced up in the southeast sky at my roofline and noticed three glowing, pulsating, orange orbs flying slowly in a northwesterly direction in a large triangular formation. As far as size perspective goes--they were the size of a typical pearl bead held at arm's length. I estimate they were traveling at a distance of about 10-15,000 feet and were completely silent and their airspeed was approximately 200-300 mph. The objects’ color never changed. I watched the objects break formation when they were directly overhead and begin moving in a somewhat straight line, as they gradually disappeared into the northwest sky. This part of the sighting lasted about 2-3 minutes. I then saw another of these objects traveling along the same flight path, approaching from the southeast sky, at which point, I ran inside my house to get my wife outside as a witness to what I was observing. We both watched this object through my binoculars as it headed in a straight line into the northwest sky. Same estimated airspeed, size and distance as the other objects. Also, at this point, I noticed several neighbors down the street from us, standing in their front yards, watching these objects. We were both getting ready to go inside the house, when we noticed yet another of the objects, same size, flight path, speed, color, etc., traveling in exactly the same direction as the previously sighted objects. We watched as it gradually disappeared in the northwest sky. I estimate the total length of this sighting to be approximately 10-15 minutes. We waited outside for another 10 minutes but nothing else unusual was sighted. We are approximately 10 miles from Sanford-Orlando International Airport and are very used to seeing various types of commercial and sometimes military aircraft over the last 17 years. I have also piloted single engine aircraft and have never seen anything like these objects before tonight.

As I'm driving, I passed a guy who's parked in the median with no hazards on or anything. I realized later that he may have seen it too and was stopped and filming it, or taking a picture, and all the traffic that was behind me slowed way down, so I know they seen it too. The aircraft hovered above the St. Johns River from the time I was in Sanford by the zoo all the way till I couldn't see it anymore which was passed DeBary. Again the craft was triangular in shape with a rectangle base there were two red lights on the rectangular base and there were five lights 3 on each point of the triangular shape and two white ones about Midway down the sides of the craft. It was about the length of half a football field it was about thirty feet above the St. Johns River and about 10 feet away from the bridge the object was clearly visible the lights were so bright I can't even explain it. My windows were down and there was zero large engine noise. My car and maybe 5 other cars behind me but absolutely no airplane, helicopter, nor drone sound was heard.
