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.

We saw a disc or saucer shaped object come across the mountain. It stopped and hovered with no sound for approximately 2 minutes then shot to the left at a 90 degree angle very quickly then went straight up until it disappeared into the night sky.

My son called me as I was coming home at approximately 10 pm eastern time. It was very dark and cloudy, Stars where not visible. My son was very distraught, yelling that he had seen something and I needed to get home. I informed him that I was coming up the driveway and hung up the phone. When my husband and I got out of the vehicle my son told me that he had saw something and for us to hurry and get in the house. This is the description he gave me. “ I had walked up the hill to dad's building, I thought I heard a bee buzzing over my head, I looked up and saw a round object with 6 lights I think hovering about 6 feet over the trees. It may have been moving really slow, then all of a sudden, it took off extremely fast. It was gone in the blink of an eye.” My son was very shook up, he is 16 and a very reasonable kid. He was shaking and scared for his little brothers safety who was down the hill in our house. He said he just ran to the house and turned the lights off to not attract attention. He says this object was approximately 80 foot off the ground, hovering or moving extremely slow over a building on our property, he was under a porch on that building and when he walked out from under it it shot off within 4-5 seconds.
