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.

About 20-30 minutes before landing at John Wayne International Airport my seat mate and I witnessed three spheres, one large and two small. We were on AA flight 1953 from Dallas. We landed at 1:42 pm. We saw the spheres, which were very bright, yet presumed metallic, moving in multiple directions, generally on the same plane of elevation. We watched them for about five minutes. I do know about the man next to me. I am an architect and real estate broker in Boca Raton, FL. This was my first UFO sighting, and I was not a believer previously. Of note, my step daughter picked me up at the airport. She claims to be an alien abductee, and she wrote for UFO Magazine.

I took pictures of the snow fall we had here in Mojave. I was using my cell phone. After showing friends I just let the pictures stay in my phone. A month ago I started cleaning out all the pictures I no longer wanted when I saw the cylinder shaped object in my picture I had not noticed. I enlarged and it is definitely something I cannot identify so I am sending to you professionals to evaluate.

I went out to take pictures of the snow we had the night before on 12/15/21 Mojave California. I took pictures and did not noticed what I had captured in the picture until I was clearing out pictures I no longer had a use for. In the picture I provided just to the left of center was a cylindrical object. I enlarged it and I could not identify what the object is so I'm sending to your staff to identify. NUFORC: reflection

The craft made movements kind of from side to side. Unnatural to a winged craft. The craft faded a couple times from white to yellow. There appeared the be a reflection of the light around the object as you looked just off both sides but not completely enveloping the craft, giving the appearance of a shroud. Could of been atmospheric. Never moving at a fast rate of speed, no apparent sound noticible. End of statement.

At 0522 hrs at approximately 80 degrees elevation I observed around three dozen lights travelling from west to east towards Edwards AFB. The lights were white in color and spaced different distances apart. All were moving in a straight line. Some appeared to be singular and some appeared to be almost double. The speed was not very fast but appeared to be gliding across the sky. They appeared at an observable distance and faded from view when they were too far away to be seen. Their magnitude were about equal to the normal stars in view at the time. No sound was observed.
