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.

Object was moving horizontally at a very fast speed and then made a 45 degree turn downward. The object did not descend downward like a shooting star and gradually turn. This objects unbelievable speed traveling horizontally and the direction of the object changing directions directly downward was something I will ever forget. Also the object remained lit, the color was of a bright glowing white orb. The object didn’t leave any trail behind it.
