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 was watching the airplanes and decided to video record them as there were very long, expanding contrails or chemtrails behind them. I can't recall if I reviewed the video before I got home or after, but I think it was before. I had thought I had seen a small flash or two of something near a contrail so I enlarged it and slowed down the video. I have a Samsung S22 Ultra. That's when I saw a white triangular craft of some kind in the image. I have NO idea what it is, but I DO know its not a plane or star or cloud, etc.
