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.

On August second around midnight my daughter and I were sitting on a dock on Tahoe lake. We were admiring the full moon and Venus. Out of nowhere we saw a bright white light appear next to Venus. It was on the right side and about the same size and appearance as Venus. It stayed there a couple minutes, then backed up. It took off very fast away from us behind Venus. As it took off, it zigzagged up above and to the left of Venus. Soon after it turned red. It kept speeding away unlike any speed I have ever observed. The red dot became tinier and tinier until it disappeared. It was the strangest thing we’ve ever seen. We’d like to know what it was.
