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 observed a total of 4 individual torpedo-shaped white objects in the sky while walking home from Deep Run High School in Glen Allen, VA. I was walking from the school in the direction of the library when I first noticed one of these objects high up in the air with no contrail. My attempts at taking a photograph were not successful. A few minutes later I noticed two more in the sky to my right, but close enough where I could make out a curious lack of wings or sounds. Their size at this lower altitude matched the size of a plane at a higher cruising altitude (visible contrails) I saw a few minutes later, suggesting these “torpedoes” are much smaller than a passenger aircraft. After crossing Twin Hickory Road, I saw another one of these close to the moon at a similar altitude to the previous two. The airplane I previously saw was still in the sky, which is how I made the size comparison.

I looked away for about 2 seconds. I tried to point it out to my passenger. When I looked again, it grew into a mushroom cloud shape with the expansion pointing down towards the horizon. Then, within another two seconds, i.R. disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
