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.

Bright orange and red sphere that streaked directly overhead for about a mile. No sound. Approxmently one mile from the ground and flying completely horizontal. This was a dark cloudy night and was well below the clouds. Lit up in a streak of light at an amazingly fast speed.

We had just left the movie theater and turned to the street when my daughter quickly pointed and got our attention to see some red lights facing north. All I remember was seeing them like in a line but equally spaced apart from each other. We couldn’t tell what shape they were because the red lights were so intense like nothing we had seen before. Like two or three seconds after we saw them joining together and they all took off in a blink of an eye and completely disappeared. Our car’s windows were closed so we were not able to know if there was a sound or not. The video that I was able to capture is not good at all, but think I was still able to capture one of the lights. I took long to take out my phone and when I did it was difficult so I moved my phone too much.

It got so much my attention that I tried to take a photo but as it was on motion it didn't come out right. The remarkable orange sphere moved in a single direction until it continued its flight until I lost sight. It was the first time I have seen that. I live in an area with clear sky and 2 weeks ago saw a shooting star.
