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.

Standing on deck watching the storm, the outdoor parking lot lamp posts flickered and went out. Then heard a giant object above gliding in the sky, looked up and couldn’t see it but could hear how big it was and the sound was like woooooosh wooooooosh woooooosh and then finally passed and the lights went back on.
