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.

Walking my dog, an Panther Trace Park I looked up as I noticed a small black object in the clouds far away. Initially I began videoing, and when I came home, zoomed into the video not only did I see multiple, but I got a beautiful linear one second video of an object flying right underneath from the left side the screen all the way to the right side of the screen. I have the one second video as well as the nine screenshots I took, and you can see beautiful formation of it flying across. (Uploaded 1second video and was only able to upload an additional (3) or the (9) second clips of the image- see for yourself ! :)

Riverview, FL
I was driving north on the main road in my town and I observed what looked like a fireball the size of a cantaloupe hovering above the sidewalk about 30 feet up. As I was approaching it, it quickly shot up into the sky while also moving east. Luckily, I was able to catch a pretty close glimpse of it before it ascended. I observed a bright orange ball of flames. The center of it looked dense and its shape was semi-spherical. There were what looked like ethereal artifacts surrounding it, moving similarly to fire but it clearly was not flames. Eventually, the object just faded off into the distance.

While walking my dog, I noticed an unusually large glowing orange object. At first, I thought it was a plain, as sometimes they appear large as they are flying across. However, this object did not move and was orange opposed to a white light. I watched it for a good 45 minutes on and off with breaks about 30 seconds just to grab a glass of water. By the size, you could tell it was not circular, yet almost appeared like a vase. It’s slowly shift is left and right and as soon as I saw it start to slowly drop it completely completely disappeared I do have a video was odd about the video is when taking it with my iPhone, it appears to have multiple colors yet I think because of the brightness and my iPhone image it doesn’t show that orange truly truly amazing experience

Object did turn, with old binoculars I noticed a difference in the lights. Dimmer and then in 10 minutes or so I could see it much brighter so that is why I'm saying it turned. Height, not sure. Called local news Channel 8, and no other reports were called in. As daylight broke, it was not visible. 092622 was back again. Same patterns.

The objects were white and then completely disappeared and would appear again in the same spot. After watching this happen for about 15 minutes another 10 objects appeared below them. Crystal clear day, blue skies. White objects flying so close together and could literally disappear without blinking. No sounds... nothing.

Watching for airplanes and birds with my Canon 10X42 Image Stabilizing Binoculars when suddenly thought I was looking at a Dragonfly hovering. It stayed in place for a few seconds then started to it's left and DISAPPEARED! After it was gone realized I couldn't see anything that small focused 2 to 3 miles away. Trying to remember after it was gone that the thing was more cylindrical and nothing like wings on it. There did appear to be a disturbance around it that when first seen could have mistaken for whirring wings. In the field of view where a hawk would measure 1/8 to 1/4 inch this object facing me was much larger and maybe silver and some detail. Might have been in the 1/2 inch range.
