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.

Bright sunshine, occasional cumulus clouds. Sitting under covered porch reading. Heard a startling abrupt sound of a low altitude missile-like object directly overhead and it quickly sped south. In the three porch steps it took to get a clear view it was gone. 2.5 seconds duration. No vapor trail. I have seen many high-speed low altitude flyovers of military jets, and I learned that the sound is not detected until the plane is overhead. This sound matches that characteristic except for a major difference. This object had a thin faint sound. The sound was like air rushing over a cylinder or fuselage. There were no engine sounds, no thundering afterburners, no loud rushing sound of a military jet. No doppler change. It was gone in about 2.5 seconds. Never heard such a unique aerial sound as that before. My perception is its speed was hypersonic minus sonic booms. I have no air tank systems, no liquified gas tanks (venting).

I turned left onto Mt.Laurel dr. As soon as I turned on the road up on the left side of the rd I saw a bright light that kinda looked like a spotlight shining down. I drove about 700 feet down and stopped and took a couple of pictures. At first I thought it was stationary but as I sat still watching it I realized it was moving across the sky slowly. At this point I changed from picture to video. Not a great video but if you look close on the steady parts you can tell it is moving. About half way through I kinda felt like I was exposed as my headlights was on in all this darkness so i turned them off. This is where you can really see how it is moving.I videoed it till it went behind some trees. I kept filming because I could still see some light behind the trees hoping it would become visible again. I realized it would not so I drove around the curve in the rd to get a better shot behind this set of trees but it was completely gone. No lights or anything any! where. As slow as it seemed to be traveling I should have saw it again around the curve or down the road some. Never saw anymore light or anything.

During a family camping trip to Pine Mountain for my kids dally break we all were sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows and talking when my mother inlaw pointed out an object that appeared at first to be a plane on fire it was flying above the tree tops and not losing altitude but was gaining speed. I listen to try and hear something but nothing came of it, so I watched as it disappeared over the tree tops headed straight toward Columbus, GA. The next day I searched to see if I could find anything about a plane crash, but all I found were reports of the same thing being spotted all over the east coast from Michigan to Florida.
