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.

Wind Lake, WI
At around 8:27PM, we were standing out on our driveway, when we glanced up and saw about 4-5 triangular objects in a line from the ground to the sky. We went to get the rest of the family, and soon realized that the objects moved 90 degrees and are now horizontal in the sky. The objects started to move apart and suddenly disappeared in all directions. This was the freakiest thing I have ever seen in my life. The sky had a low cloud color so you know for sure that the objects were very low. The objects had 3 points each flashing a distinct pattern of colors.
