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.

My wife came and two grandchildren sighted the object and after watching it for awhile came in to see if I could explain what it might be. I went outside and observed a bright dot in the sky near the sun at around 11:30 am PST. At first I thought it might be a drone, just hovering. There was very little wind, if any. Quite hazy as we are in the middle of a smoke out because of nearby forest fires. The only conclusion I could make is that it might be a highly reflective balloon. It hasn't moved in over a half an hour and that seems unusual.

Bright white circlular light. Appeared to be about the same height as an airplane, but looked much bigger and was traveling much faster. Light got progressively dimmer as it appeared to travel away until fully out of sight before it had the chance to disappear over the horizon.

I am a imsomniac, and had gotten up to let our dog out at about 2am in waiting for her to come back to the door i was watching out the side window of the door and observed something about 200 feet away coming on my right crossing our hay field it was dark and snowing hard but have a yard light to illuminate the shop area At first it just didnt register in my head i shook my head thinking and blinked several times thinking i i was seeing things it continued coming from my right, i stared intently trying to make the details out as it passed from right to left about 20 feet abouve the ground and about 50 feet in front of me It was a very definite wedge shape , colored charcoal black with some browns like it was made to blend into the darkness. It made no noise or had any lights and vanished as it vanished as it passed my door My dog actually growled at it as it passed by I swear to you this was not a figment of my imagination and is not a lie i was not seeing things and it could not be anything other than what i saw i have never seen any other UFO in my 58 years of life
