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.

A large, green/teal brightly lit craft appeared for 1-2 seconds flying very quickly across the sky and disappeared. It was much larger then air planes flying at the same time, but it was hard to see how far up it was. Some planes were even with it at height I would estimate, others well above it. As I was watching the sky it appeared from nowhere, and disappeared into nothing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
