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.

Taft, CA

This was not an aircraft and it was not a Chinese lantern… There was no flicker of fire or blinking lights. I estimate it was less than a quarter mile above me, and maybe the size of a yoga ball. I was able to grab my phone and snap 3 photos before it was out of view. The pictures are very interesting!! Witness indicates "Taft, Indiana" in original report. We have amended that to "Taft, California." PD
