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.

Husband stepped out and yelled to come. He saw it zooming around about 30 seconds before I started filming. A bright object, no shape at the time and changing from red to blue to green. It started moving horizontally faster than man made. Not as high as Chinese Spy balloon which I also saw and videoed. Not as high as airplanes along the flight path. Could have been so large that it looked lower in the sky. Turned into a circle, changing colors then blinking. Shape changed from circle to shapeless streaks darting so fast I don’t even think the military has anything that fast. We were skeptical but nothing else explains it. Just like in Close Encounters when it flew around the mountain road as people stood there. There was only one object and it darted around so fast and went behind the tree line. Someone was shooting fireworks to the northwest. We heard no sound at all. Video was too long to load.

I was on the sidewalk walking my dog in my neighborhood. I heard a really weird and quick sound from above so I looked up into the sky. While I was looking my dog started whimpering and tried to go back to our house. I saw like a cylinder shaped above just floated away. There were lights that would change color super fast until it went back to white. I thought it might be a plane until I looked it up, it was definitely not a plane. To my eyes, it was blurry around it and it was foggy. I went to check my phone to see the time, it said 4:20. I left my house at 4:10 and had definitely been walking for 20-25 minutes. It didn't make sense, my phone then shut down while it had a full battery. By now my dog had been really tugging, so I walked back to my house. When we got home my dog ran into her crate. This is super weird, she hates going into the crate and never goes in it.

Single light moving erratically in the sky. Light turned red after staring out loud “well it can’t be a plane because there are no red or flashing lights” then the craft quickly went high in the sky flashed and disappeared before our eyes. The sky was clear, no clouds.

My ring camera recorded this. I did not see it with my own eyes. Two rows of lights (6 each row) hovered close to ground, ascended above tree, returned descending, and jumped over fence close to where it started. It appeared to be between 1 to 3 feet long. It appears to be transparent. Only the rows of lights visible. No sound at all.

Looked to the Southwest and saw three lights that stayed still in the sky for approximately 3 minutes then disappeared.
