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.

Male, age 64, just witnessed a fast-moving triangular structure moving in the southeast direction above Livingston Parish, Louisiana. It appeared to be a grouping of dim white lights (10-20 lights) shaped in a triangular wing shape. Movement was very smooth, no erratic or sudden changes in movement, speed or direction. Could hear a muffled sound as it passed. The object crossed my vision for 4-5 seconds.

One of our security cameras picked up a 10 second video of an object floating up and down in our back yard. Because it was approximately 3:30 am it was dark so all that could be seen was two lights which were rectangular in shape. My husband and I thought it was a drone, but when we turned the sound up all that could be heard was crickets and night insects. A raccoon was on the side of the shed out of view of the object and didn’t seem to be aware of it. It started about half-way down the side of the shed, then slowly came down a little lower and then went up slowly and the video stopped when the object reached a height just above the top of the shed. A video captured 11 minutes previously showed nothing unusual and I have seen nothing like it before or since. ((ADDENDUM/RETRACTION SUBMITTED BY SOURCE OF REPORT)) Mistake I think my "UFO" is some kind of camera anomaly because I have found another video with a very similar (although not nearly as big) capture. It occurred a few days later. I believe it is something to do with moisture, heat and general atmospheric conditions. Sorry!

I witnessed a light moving at a constant speed from west to east across the sky. This light was moving faster than any plane or helicopter I've seen and moved slower than a shooting star. It did not blink. It appeared to ascend as it moved across the sky until it disappeared from sight. Not the ISS, which was not visible at the time and date indicated by the witness. PD

I was walking my dog right at dark today and looked to the Northeast. Three cone shaped, bright red objects were moving in formation across the sky to the Southwest. They were evenly spaced in a formation with the one in the middle higher than the other two. As they went behind a tree, I waited for them to reappear in the sky. Two had disappeared behind the tree and one proceeded on toward the Southwest. These objects were very bright red, very high, and made no sound whatsoever. There were no blinking lights, as on airplanes. I have seen the International Space Station move across the sky and I would say these were moving at about the same speed, though I have no way of judging how high the were.

It was about 8:30 pm, my mom and I were outside on the back patio. I noticed a red light moving overhead to the west of us and pointed it out to her, asking what she though it could be. On the underside of the object was a red light that was steady and did not pulsate. It moved about the same speed as the planes we see flying by, landing at the airport in Baton Rouge. I walked out into the yard to get a closer look, and two more bright red lights came on, one after the other, making a total of three lights in a small cluster. The object appeared to be approaching us, ascending quickly and moving toward the trees where I was standing. Then, as it reached the treeline, the lights shut off. Because it was dusk, I could not see the shape of the object. During the time of the object's ascent, what appeared to be a commercial liner was flying unusually low and to the west of the object, not on a course that I usually observe such planes taking.
