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 outside smoking a cigarette when I happened to look up and noticed a bright white light in the sky. At first I thought it was a planet, but it was moving. Then I thought perhaps it was a plane, but it was moving to fast and it wasn't flashing. I took a 3 second exposure photo at 3x zoom, then a 6 second video at 3x zoom. I looked down to ensure video saved, but when I looked up the light was gone. I've tried to upload the picture and video, but there seems to be an issue uploading.

Driving northbound on Broadway, HWY 101, in the vicinity of 4th street, south of the marina, I noticed an object that resembled a sand dollar, a circular shaped dome, that glided from the west, off the Pacific, toward the east, near the northern city limits. Most striking were several colored rays of light, blue, red, green, and yellow, which appeared to emanate in a circular fashion from the dome. As best I could tell, the object was about 20 feet in diameter, and looked to be traveling between 700 and a 1,000 feet. It was 7:15 AM, just as the sun was coming up, and skies were clear. The object was visible for approximately 3 to 4 minutes as it skirted the city limits.

Three of us were out fishing north of Eureka California ,total darkness other than flashlights when noticing a string 40 to 50 lights at very high altitude following each other across the sky, amazing sight all evenly spaced headed north easterly direction, there was no telling how many we missed before we noticed them. There was no sound seem like an endless stream of them, we did see two flying to one side of them following at the same speed that we're not quite as bright they all seem perfectly spaced. Surely not something you see everyday or nite.

The Craft was triangle shape with round shape edges and dark metallic color their Direction was Northwest then turned more so North

Bright orange/red orb Northwest sky 20 degrees above the horizon. Bright would dim and get brighter. Then it moved slightly. Then it faded away. In line with Messier 53.
