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.

Witness Background: (1) Engineer (2) Wildlife Biologist Description: At approximately 11:15 pm, 7/15/17, the following was observed from Lyons, CO, for 5–7 minutes: -- Clear night; no clouds; very low light pollution allowed the Milky-Way white glow to be visible; Big Dipper visible -- Hundreds of star-like (point lights with white color) lights were seen moving in the same direction, with different and changing speeds, like a flock of birds would move in relation to each other, but slower…perhaps due to the distance…The spatial distance between them changed; the direction of travel changed; -- They covered the sky and took 5 – 7 minutes to move through the sky and appeared to change direction as a group. However, from our point of view, there was one area with the mass of observable lights, but which were also seen in other parts of the sky but less dense. -- Silent. No visible trail. No apparent predictable formation. Neither of us has ever seen anything like it. -- It was not a meteor shower because what we observed moved much slower, and were observed over several minutes, while appearing to speed up, slow down, and change direction…also, meteors were seen, but were at a different angle to the direction of travel for what we saw, and obviously much, much faster, only visible for split seconds. Planes were seen and identified due to red/green/white aviation lights…what we observed was different. Satellites were seen, usually only one at a time, but never more than two or three together moving in the same path at the same speed…and not changing direction. -- Because we were astonished, we made specific reference to where we were, where the Big Dipper was, etc..

A strange object flew over us fairly slow, approx. 10,000 feet in the sky, with a sound that did not match the speed or distance from our location. It was very loud but was well past us by the time we heard it. It was very large and had white lights on both tips of what appeared to be the wing edges. Both witnesses saw a strange circular motion like a fan at the front of the craft and flew towards the Denver, CO, area. 30 minutes later 2 more flew over much higher but the same identical outline in the sky. Obviously the same type object with lights on both tips of wing. Both witnesses have never seen an object in the sky resembling these crafts and watch the sky most nights of the year.

At 6:15a.m., I looked out from my bedroom window, at the mountain, approximately 1/2 mile from my home. There looked to be a large "search-light" against the mountain. I thought, "That is the biggest searchlight, I've ever seen." It appeared to be a large round white light, approximately the size of three houses placed together. It darted against the mountain from left to right. I thought it was strange that someone was searching for something in an erratic fashion. It then lifted above the mountain line and appeared as a bright and round with a blurred edge, as it was while in front of the mountain. Since there were no clouds in the sky, it occurred to me that it was not reflecting off of clouds, if in fact it was a large spotlight. Then, it darted to the west a short distance, paused for a moment and abruptly took off going east in the sky. Then, it was gone.
