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.

We saw four orange lights in a triangle formation that then changes direction and faded out one at a time. https://youtube.com/shorts/3Y3Z0KcOoaU?feature=share

I was taking my trash out and remembered there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so I decided to take advantage and do some star seeing. One star really caught my eye. It was too damn bright. So I turned around and started walking back to my porch to get a different angle and that's when I saw it. A large black tear appeared. It was like a piece of the sky got ripped out. It expanded rapidly from in front of me to my left seeming to repair itself as it did so like a zipper closing. It went over a dim star and when it was gone, so was said star. It moved so fast I had to turn my head to track it..

There's a lot of activity in the skies lately. We didn't hear anything, but as you can see, it looked like a bright object that moved fairly quickly, dimmed, then appeared to change direction quickly. We seen it between 9:45 and 10:00 p.m. Friday night.

I ran downstairs as my brother was up getting his son ready for school. He and I ran to the window and the unusually large aircraft...long wing span with lights across entire length of wing span. It continued in straight line in direction of Skaneateles, NY. It was not loud. I have looked in news however have not seen anything posted or report of anyone else seeing it. I was a Flight Attendant and know aircraft...this was not ordinary at all. Highly unusual due to enormous size, wing span and amount of lights. I would really like to know what it was. Report submitted by airline employee. Jupiter currently is quite prominent in the eastern sky, but if the object was, in fact, moving, it could not have been Jupiter, obviously. PD

At 8:14 P.M., I went out to the mailbox to retrieve the mail. As I closed the mailbox,a bright pulsating orange light just above the tree line caught my eye. It was moving very slowly to the southeast with no sound. The object intensified in brightness and then faded somewhat as it traveled in a straight line to the east. It was clearly under intelligent control as it did not deviate from its flight path. I then ran inside and grabbed my binoculars and then ran back out the back door to my back yard. The object then disappeared and then reappeared about 20 seconds later. I raised my binoculars and focused them in on the object and it changed from a solid orange object to a triangular shaped object with three orange lights. There was an orange light on each corner forming a perfect triangle. The object crossed directly in front of me,stopped and then disappeared into thin air. It did not ascend or descend.It simply vanished,as if it had cloaked itself invisible. I witnessed it disappear while viewing it through the binoculars. I had the distinct feeling that the object was watching me, just as I was watching it. The weather was not a factor, as it was a crystal clear starry night. No other aircraft was spotted near this object when I saw it. http://heavens-above.com/passdetails.aspx?lat=42.9317&lng=-76.5661&loc=Auburn&alt=209&tz=EST&satid=25544&mjd=57477.0112034545&type=V Overflight of ISS.

I first observed an orange flaming light rising in the western sky. The object was in the shape of a ball of flame. It continued in a easterly direction and continued to accelerate in a straight path. At times the clouds would obscure the light. There was no sound or navigation lights. The flame eventually faded but a dark object could still be seen flying to the horizon in Eastern sky. Still no navigation lights could be seen. I am a police officer and would not have posted this sighting unless I thought to be unusual and difficult to explain. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
