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.

I am responding to a witness’s previous report of the same object seen in southern California. I was attempting to view the “remnants” of a lunar eclipse from the previous weekend, but missed the event, as I am in the mountains, and had to climb upon a high ridge to see the rising moon. This was the largest, brightest, meteor I’ve ever seen, and it appeared to travel in slow-motion compared to other meteors I’ve witnessed in the past. I counted the duration of the event as 10 seconds. For me, the meteor traveled from south to north, almost “into the harvest moon,” before disintegrating. It had a short, bright red tail and very large, brilliant white, spherical head. When I tried to find info on this meteor using the internet today, the previous account was the only record available. I wish to substantiate it with my report. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
