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.

Last night my wife and I saw this amazing comet like thing in the sky. At first it was a bright light like a super bright star above the nearby 14000 foot mountains. And suddenly it took a right turn heading south. As it did we both saw a long tail with iridescent colors and then it disappeared.
