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.

Open the living room curtains to see if the winter weather had started, we were expected to have ice and wet drizzly stuff. Notice what I thought was a plane west of my house. As it started to come closer I realized it was a ball of fire almost in the shape of I kid you not a stingray. As it got to the actual city of maize it's slowed down and descended to about 30 to 50 ft above tree level. And when I'm looking up it is just fiery substance. No actual lights that I could tell and no other material that I could tell. It has no sound.I go to get my camera and as soon as I snap the photo it's gone past my house. I run inside to tell my husband who is asleep and at that point I'm shaky and almost in tears. I calm down for a couple seconds decide to go look out my back window which is facing East and there it is. And coming towards it is an actual airplane. So I run and get my husband and tell him to come see within the 30 to 45 seconds it took us to get there it was gone. And the plane was gone. My eyes after seeing this thing hurt for the rest of the evening into the next night. I'm still trying to understand the materials of it's being and why slow down above my house until I try to get a picture.

This evening, my daughter and I were out on the patio, when all the sudden we noticed 10+ little twinkling lights moving in a circular formation across the sky. I have grown up around airplanes and these were NOT planes, the lights were all moving independently of each other. They did produce a sound that I would say is similar to a jet but duller and delayed. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
