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.

It didn't light up the sky or make a sound!

Driving down the road early in the morning, saw a light I assumed was a star or aircraft. As I watched, it zoomed away from me and disappeared.

Location: NW of Yakima, WA First Sighted: Shortly before 11 pm, June 6. 2015 Appearance: Bright white light with red light on top, green lights At first, I thought it was the last Horizon flight coming into Yakima, arriving a little late. It was brighter and closer than a star and had red and green lights. But it stayed in the same general area. I did not notice any sound. Looking through binoculars, I thought that I saw two. It seemed to be hovering and slowly moving different directions, presenting different shapes. Once it appeared to be a vertical disc. One it appeared to have 2 bright white “wings,” positioned similar to an airplane when it is dipping a wing to turn. Once it appeared to be emitting bright white streams of particles from underneath. As it started to move NW, it no longer was bright white but looked more orange. I phone the sheriff’s office and was told that they would have someone in the area take a look. When I looked after phoning, it was further away and not bright white so it was not as noticeable but still visible. It was visible for more than an hour.
