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 walking towards my car in an easterly direction along Aggie boulevard (Utah State University campus) looking up at the Bear River Mountains. From my location, I had a view of the entrance to Logan Canyon and a partial view of the entrance to Dry Canyon (just south of Logan Canyon). At this point in time the mountain summits and valleys were covered in a thick dark cloud cover. The sky had little to no cloud cover just west of the mountains. I momentarily saw a large object, about the size of a small suburban home, fly through the clouds in Dry Canyon. It moved southwards across the canyon, then quickly upwards as it approached the southern side of the canyon. The object was obscured by the clouds, but I could make out a general grey diamond-like shape; however the boundaries seemed almost smudged. It seemed to have a partial faint red color to it as well. This occurred within seconds. I expected the object to emerge from the clouds and reveal itself as some kind of plane, however I did not see it again. It unfortunately happened too quickly for me to capture any form of video/images. I checked local flight radars about 10 minutes after the observation and did not find any local aircrafts flying through the area at that time/location.

String of lights composed of ~12 circular objects. Appeared briefly (10 seconds), and was moving north to south. Faded as formation appeared to gain altitude, while continuing a southerly trajectory. An additional string of lights appeared ~20 minutes later. This second string of lights was composed of three bright objects, similar to the previous description in brightness, duration, and trajectory.

We spotted a strange firey light low in the sky that almost looked like an airplane that was on fire. My husband thought it was a meteor but it was traveling to slow. It was coming directly at as, it was about a half mile or less from us. There was no sound coming from the object what so ever. It suddenly stopped and hovered in the same spot for about 45 seconds then went straight up and completely disappeared with seconds.

The object was blinking a red light on and off very steadily. It had a vapor trail, and appeared to have a flag-like object coming off of it. I know for a fact it was not a twinkling star or an airplane or helicopter, I am a private pilot and know how to identify these. Possible sighting of planets? PD
