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 standing in the Lowe’s distribution center in Brownsville, TN around 2 pm watching a sheet of wrapping plastic floating in the wind. There were no other drivers in my area. I then noticed a white object high in the sky above and behind the sheet of plastic. It appeared to be stationary and several miles away north northeast of the distribution center. It was at approximately a 30 degree angle to the horizon. It didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen or heard about. Imagine a straight walking stick with a light bulb screwed into one end and an old leather glove on the other end. It was in a vertical position with the bulb on top and the fingers of the glove hanging down. There were no sharp edges. It reminded me of a floor lamp with roots. The entire object was extremely white and sharply outlined against a cloudless sky. It’s apparent height was about the same as the angular diameter of the moon. I watched it for about 20 seconds and at that point a round object darted out of the dome/bulb at a 45 degree angle up and to the right. It was much smaller than the lamp object and at that distance looked like a small very white dot. It was going slow enough that I could easily track it. When it got about 3 moon diameters from the lamp it vanished. I looked back at the lamp and watched it for maybe another 20 seconds then watched an identical dot leave the dome with the same trajectory. It vanished in the same manner as the first. I returned my attention to the lamp. About 15 or 20 seconds later it developed a pink aura and started moving east at a speed similar to the small objects. When it got in the east northeast direction it disappeared. I didn’t have my phone with me but it didn’t occur to me to take photos. I never took my eyes off this thing. All I could think about was wishing I had some high powered binoculars.

Fireball like craft flying low and slow, then disappearing quickly.
