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.

Grants Pass (Murphy Area), OR

My mom passed the day before, I was heartbroken. I had taken care of her for six years. I decided I would go outside that that night and take a picture of the night sky with my infrared camera. What I saw next was a huge blue eye looking back at me. I had many sightings of some explained and some unexplained things since moving to Oregon in 1993. So at this point nothing surprised me anymore and I was numb anyway grieving the loss of my beautiful mom. I had more blue eyes show up later in my pictures, and even one after I moved to AZ. I was told this could be a portal? I understand too, if you don’t post this, because it’s not a typical UFO type. Just very strange. I just came back across it in my photos. I thought, I would share it anyway. Thank you
