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.

Gun metal V shaped with 6 white lights at edges of front. 1 blinking red light at rear. Looked like a stealth fighter front and hollow rounded rear that connects in the rear. Silent 125 feet above townhouse..oving slowly above my head. If there were no lights it would have been a shadow only T very low altitude. Held coarse and direction. No sound at all. If no blinking red rear light I would have believed in ufos coul have been a drone.

So I thought was odd (because I work on site at the airport and I know only restricted flights are flying. So after watching this plane for a second" I noticed a bright star getting closer to the plane. I watched it and that bright star flew directly across the plane about 3,000 feet above The star didn't make any noise like the plane had done as it passes over me seconds after crossing over the white plane. I watched the star continue on its flight plan until I couldn't watch it anymore. Seconds after that, I dropped my keys while watching the craft, I bent over in total darkness to find my keys! And I heard 2 loud engine jets going across my home, but I couldn't see them because they were 2 fast and my tree was blocking the view while I was looking for the keys, when I stood up the jets were gone
