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 looked outside my bedroom window and saw a very bright light, i originally thought it was an automobile w/bright lights, but could never resolve lights of an automobile. it was a beautiful sphere of ever-changing bright and colorful, psychedelic lights. a multitude of colorful bright streamers emanated from the object. it looked like a kid's sparkle mini-fireworks stick but was much larger by at least 3 orders of magnitude. after very short period of time, the object began moving through trees adjacent to highway. i could see it through the trees. then, it just blinked out. i hope this report is satisfactory.
