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.

I was going on a midnight walk when i looked at the sky and saw what initially looked like an asteroid burning up while entering atmosphere but then realized it couldn't be because after i saw streak of fire behind the ufo it briefly disappears then re appears and continues moving then when moving a haze or aura appeared trailing behind the moving object SpaceX [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

3 bright lights turned in synchronicity which caught my attention. I was riding in the car with my man and I pulled out my camera and filmed it. The ship was quite large. The lights followed as the car travelled north.

Standing in my backyard my wife Andi witnessed two orange lights coming out of the southeast sky moving northwest. They appeared to fly like an airplane but did not have the usual lights we see on the many aircraft in the area. ( We live near the airport). We also heard no sound and the lights seemed to following one another at a constant set distance. The light was very much orange in color and flickered like fire. It wasn't the bright white light of a commercial airliner and there were no other colors or anything flashing. Just constant orange light. We could not see any shape or vehicle, just light without sound. They moved across the sky much like two airplanes would until one began climbing quickly followed soon after by the other. In a matter of seconds they were out of sight.

At approximately midnight, on Thursday, April 8th, 2021, my fiance alerted me to something occurring outside. What I saw was similar to something I have seen decades ago but what occured was unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life. Approximately 1,000 feet above us, was a silent aircraft with lights colored white, green and red, flashing in a circular motion. I remained outside, watching the aircraft approach, while my fiance went inside to get his cell phone. As the craft approached me overhead from the West, I was approximately 4 feet away from my doorway, on the sidewalk area of an "L" shaped apartment building, looking up. Suddenly two green beams of light emerged from the aircraft and the same color but much less dense filled the space in between. The distance of the two light beams widened as they approached me, forming somewhat of a triangle, the base of which was sweeping the ground directly in front of me and towards me, nearly enveloping me. I stepped backwards as it and the lights approached. I felt I was its target, being directly in the center of its two beams and field of light which continued to approach me, quickly. My door was still opened. As I backed up, I grabbed my door in fear, yelled to my fiance, stepped inside & closed the door. I half jokingly told my fiance I almost got swept up by aliens and he told me that was what happened to him before he came to get me, only the aircraft was traveling East to West when it happened to him, while he was standing at the far edge of our property, approximately 70 feet away from our door. So, the aircraft traveled East to West, 'scoped' my fiance, then traveled West to East towards me and did the same. Together we exited our apartment shortly thereafter and watched the aircraft travel farther East, still fairly low to the ground and silent, but without beams emitting from it. Only the red, green and white lights continued to flash, as we watched it travel farther away. He took pictures at this time, as well as immediately after it 'swept' me. I ran back inside to get my phone and car keys. I took video at this time but it was rather far away. We decided to try to get closer to it by using our vehicle. The aircraft began to fly South as we began to drive East. We pulled into a sidestreet and I attempted to take video of the aircraft again. It remained silent, without emitting beams and continued to fly South, farther away. When we arrived back to our parking lot, I searched online who to call for a ufo report. I called the number and the gentlemen suggested I & my fiance write separate reports and submit them. It is now 2:29am, April 9th and I am still shaken up a bit, wondering if anyone else has experienced this or saw what took place just a few hours ago.
