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 have been watching this thing on and off for several days. At dusk, and sometimes late into the evening, I have been observing a very bright light that seems to pulsate from white to red. With binoculars, it is clearly a spherical glowing white orb or disk encircled by rotating red lights. It hovers in the sky Southwest of my house, for 20 minutes or more, then disappears. Last night I observed it, and watched it with my binoculars on and off for a hour. It hovered in place, with the red lights rotating. Some evenings it seems closer to my house, but last night it was the furthest away I have observed, yet the binoculars were able to pick up details and shapes quite clearly. When I went to look later, it was gone. We suspect a "twinkling" star. PD
