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 saw this flashing light in the sky to the north east flashing and darting around, it was a crystal clear night, October 14; 2:02 am is when I started recording…I have a video of the light in the sky, it’s extremely convincing, the light shows rotation and movement when zoomed in. It’s really pretty unbelievable I caught this. I watched it for almost 3 minutes and it was gone, no sound whatsoever. It almost looks like a triangle at the beginning of the video. I would love to send you the video. You can hear the tree toads and crickets, it was a gorgeous night. I was just returning from fishing the last of the stripe bass run. That’s when I saw the light. I have no clue what it is. It’s not like anything I have ever seen in the sky and it was really bright. All the stars were out..god how can I send you the video?
