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.

Was sitting in hospital parking lot in an ambulance. "I am an employee on the ambulance" was watching aircraft fly over and checking what flight and type of aircraft they were on my flight radar app. Noticed an aircraft flying at 32000 ft west bound. Just as it passed my unit I seen a silver flash catch my eye maybe 5000 feet above the aircraft. It moved east and west with ease never stopping to change direction. Then it moved up north and south a few times hovered intermittently at times. Then it just ascended out of sight. The object was silver in appearance orb shaped like a b.b.

Possible meteor?? Date is flawed. We have assigned a plausible date, based on what the witness has indicated above. Possible hoax?? PD
