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'm now watching it from a parking lot in Landsdowne on Washington Blvd. The only movement seems to be be slow rotation, 1 revolution in 10 min or so. No up or down nor left to right. Tried to take a pic but won't show up on my LG phone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

November 21, 2014, 4:55pm (EST) Report of odd sighting in southwestern sky near BWI airport, in Maryland—Cluster of 3 slow moving, illuminated objects high in atmosphere, had not a dual but bifurcated short tail—hence they did not look like aircraft. All three lit objects moving south but almost toward each other to some focal point? They appeared too close to each other to be airplanes; moving in a southerly direction. Head of each moving object appeared wider than an aircraft. No audible noise noted. Please help us figure out what they were! Thank you! We have responded to the witness, inquiring whether the objects might have been aircraft, with contrails streaming out behind them. Her description makes us wonder whether they might have been high-altitude aircraft. PD

Witness a triangle shaped object with 3 bright white lights and two smaller ones. Thought it may have been a plane, but as it got closer to the ground (200ft above the ground), there were no labeling on the craft or wheels sitting out. Normally you can hear an airplane engines at this point but not in this case.

My wife and I saw one of these in Maryland (USA) this morning. August 28, 2014, at 0510 hrs EST., it was large like bigger than the moon usually appears, but the moon was not in our sky this morning. It had a spiral movement as though something was emanating from it and perhapse one revolution per 5 seconds. looked like a opening tunnel vortex and it changed from a deep-red corona to a white haze as it dissapeared. It came back a few seconds later, like 30 seconds later, more hazy the second time. We freaked out and sat on the ground as I was worried that there would be a sonic boom, but there was no sound effects that I could hear after all... it was hand size at arm's length away and seemingly not in our atmosphere because it had a far distance look similar to the aurora borealis.
