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.

They were stationary for the 2 minutes I saw them. As I drove to get a better vantage point, I passed under tree cover and when I came out within line of sight they were completely gone. I could see into space tonight its so clear. But there was only a distant airplane. Wow.

I brought my dog to the back yard to go to the bathroom at night and as soon as we got outside I saw a short red beam ascending, which I discarded because I didn't see it clearly. After watching the sky for a few minutes I then saw a white light travel from the top of the sky to the ground, descending in 2 to 3 seconds, while comming down sideways, faster than anything I've ever seen travel in the sky. The light was bright and left no stream and had no tail. I am skeptical about UFO sightings and stories, but I saw something strange tonight.
