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.

WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON NEW HAMPSHIRE AVENUE INTO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. I NOTICED A TRIANGULAR SHAPE OF WHITE LIGHTS ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE OBJECT IN THE SKY. THOUGHT IT WAS UNUSUAL, IT ALSO HAD AN UNSUAL TAIL OF LIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM ALMOST IN A SWERVED OR ZIG ZAG SHAPE. IT MUST HAVE BEEN HUGH BECAUSE OF THE WIDTH AND LENGHT I OBSERVED. I TURNED ON SHERIDAN OFF OF NEW HAMSPHIRE, THEN RIGHT ONTO KNOLLBROOK DR. APPROACHING CHILLUM RD WHERE I COULD STOP TO TRY TO TAKED A PICTURE. WHILE ADJ USTING MY CELL PHONE I LOOKED UP AND THE OBJECT HAD DISAPPEARED. WHEN I NOTICED A STREAM OF LIGHTS MOVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH WAS APRROACHING A SMALL WHITE CLOUD. I NOTICED ON MY RIGHT THE OBJECT HAD REAPPEARED JUST A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY FROM WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY SEEN IT. I COULD NOT CAPTURE THE OBJECT ON MY CELL PHONE SINCE APPARENTLY IT WAS TOO HIGH IN THE SKY. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A SPACE STATION IN VIRGINIA AND I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS NEAR THAT AREA.

I woke up to a strange sound at about 02:02am, not the sound of a plane or helicopter, a smooth sound like an electric engine car when it starts moving, but much louder. I looked out the window and saw the unexplained craft fly above my home at a low height in the sky. It flew from north to south. A prime example, from the PG metro green line towards the West Hyattsville Green line direction. I was the only one awake at the time. At exactly 02:04, I took 2 pictures that I have saved on my phone of the craft. It flew in a circle pattern in the south direction. The craft had a grey texture of color, from what could be seen from the craft. As it flew in an angle above heading south, the lights were really bright on the side with, what appeared to be in a triangle shape with really beautiful blue lights on the sides. Then you could see the really, really bright lights on the front of the craft. The craft was shape in a diamond shape, but a lot more flatter but not saucer shape. Then, just like in the movies, it shot out flying at a tremendous speed, heading northeast, with the same electric engine sound, but a lot more stronger than when it flew by above my home.

Don"t have a clue what is was.
