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 work at a gas plant between two small towns on the state line between southern New Mexico and Texas. There is generally just two persons manning the plant during the night shift. While making rounds I noticed what at first appeared to be a single flashing red light (like a typical radio tower light) to the north of my position. The light was unusual so I stopped the vehicle and watched it. It was moving slowly in a westward direction toward town. While I was watching, the light split into three lights making a perfect upright triangle. The blinking frequency did not change. There was a beam of light the same color and intensity of the corners of light connecting the three points. When this happened I called the other operator at the control room on the radio for him to go outside and look at what I was seeing. As soon as he answered me the lights went back into one red light with white lights flashing beside it and appeared to be a normal airplane. I told him to disregard, whatever it was was gone.

Sky was very blue,no breeze. I was laying on my back in pool staring at the sky when out of nowhere, I noticed a group of shiny metalic objects kind of orb shaped darting around very high in the sky, almost impossible to see if you were not staring at the sky. I asked my daughter (she is 30 ) to lay on her back next to me and see if she could observe them. She could not believe what she was seeing. They were grouped together but moving around in different directions .We watched them and they seemed to get higher and just dissipate. I have no clue what we witnessed. The air was still, no breeze at all, they were so high in the sky they kind of looked like shooting stars in the daytime.
