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.

Was on my 9th floor balcony at around 9:30 PM on July 22, 2023. As I looked up, I saw some craft with 3 blinking lights on the bottom. The blink frequency was around 1 second or less. The colors were red, and either blue and white or both white, and they were very bright. Since it was dark, I could not make out the shape too well, but the blinking lights lit the craft up enough I could tell there were no wings and it seemed triangular with maybe a dome on top. I say a triangular shape because the three lights appeared to be in a triangular pattern. I could tell this was flying fairly low, and I heard no noise at all coming from it. I watched it for about 10 seconds when it suddenly changed direction by 90 degrees and headed in the direction of State College. I watched it for another minute or so until it vanished over the horizon. I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that this was not something I've ever seen before. There may be a terrestrial explanation for it though. I did have my camera with me, but I was so enthralled by watching it, I forgot to get any pictures at first. By the time I thought of it, it was far enough away I didn't think it was worth taking.
