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.

It was pretty dark out, so i didnt notice it immediately. it blended in with the night sky. but then it made this noise that you could physically feel. like a sound warp. thats when i saw it. it started moving almost incomprehensibly fast south by south-east. it only took about 20 seconds for it to travel beyond my sight. my cat came out when it happened and got support freaked out and protective over me {my cat acts like a dog}. when i went back inside i found bruises on both of my arms.
