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.

After moving from 180 degrees SW to 200 degrees SW it stayed still for 2 hours then dropped in an angle to 240 degrees SW almost to the ground. It then instantly moved upward to right about 100 ft then back to whee it had temporarily stopped. At this point it’s a white dot that increased and decreased its illuminosity. According to moon schedule it should have been a new quarter only right side showing. I have video on my ring camera. Besides this a small white orb floats down parallel. Also have odd lights for at least 3 consecutive nights and saucer craft that can only be seen on video. The moon like object could be seen. At first it simply appeared and as it moved right it seemed to change shape and illuminosity around its edges but staying roughly round. I need to screen record my Ring footage. Wanted to send this right away.

My 14 year old son saw this ring shaped object from his window for about 3 minutes. He said it moved slowly without any sound. The two photos were taken by him on his Apple iphone without any filter or apps. We believe him 100 percent and has no reason to lie about this. SpaceX

Rotating object, travelled in a southeast direction. As it rotated, one side would shine from the sunlight. Moved faster than a jet airliner. No sound.

Looked like a long straight log just hanging in the sky. Watched for about 10 minutes until it became covered by the clouds

Hello, I am filing this report my first report one which I have filed on one other website but they did not return correspondence so I am filing here. I wish to get these off of my chest as it has been troubling me all of my life. On January 15, 2022 as I entered my automobile, I noticed a glowing orb just above powelines. It was white / blueish on color, and it was bright. It pulsated slowly and moved slowly and perfectly as if on straight and set path from North-East to South-west. It did not exhibit unusual maneuvering nor did it have any discernible shape. Shortly after it passed overhead, the sound of Helicopters faded in and followed the orb from it's point of origin North-East. Unfortunately the video is approximately 30 seconds in length and the video quality itself is unremarkable. As it passed over and after 30 seconds I felt a sense of fear and discomfort, so much so I felt compelled to stop recording. This is not the last time I witnessed this type of orb and in fact just 5 days later it made another appearance of which I recorded as well; only that time it was much closer and it grew in size and was even brighter but as I mentioned on the other websites reporting form, I will reserve that higher quality video until I can gauge wether or not this initial report/video will be taken seriously before I decide to follow-up. You may contact me at strmncptz@gmail.com , thank you very much for your time.

The object I observed yesterday on September 11, 2021 at around 3:30 - 3:45 PM was a somewhat shiny cylinder shape in an up/ down orientation. It appeared stationary and I could see it had a slow rotation to it because it had some kind of bump out / protrusion towards the top of its shape that would shine bright probably from the reflection of the sun. It was northeast in the sky from where I was observing it. It was hard to tell just how high it was at first and I was in total awe as to what I was looking at. I quickly went inside to grab binoculars and had my wife and daughter come out to take a look. I was afraid that it would be gone but sure enough we all spotted it... but it was smaller and no doubt higher up. Even with the binoculars it was hard to get a clear view of it. A few clouds at one point obstructed it so I knew then it had to be fairly high up by now. We watched it as it just kept getting smaller and disappeared from sight. We all agreed i! t had rotation to it and had no idea what it could have been. None of us have ever witness anything like this. I am reporting this in the hopes of learning that others may have seen it and took the time to report it as well.
