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.

I was headed to the store then I was driving on 28th Avenue about 2 streets over from my house then I seen a bunch of birds acting strangely. So I looked up there was 2-alumunus colored square shaped flying objects with a very strange sound but not loud. Then I taken a video footage of the 3 UFOs and went back to record some more then they were gone in nanoseconds. I went home to upload on my computer then screen shotted a couple of the objects seemed to look like they changed into disk shaped objects. I called and made a report to the Fairbanks Police Department.

I saw a strange moving “satellite” It stopped and changed direction. I talked to some people about it. Then tried to get a 2nd pair of eyes on it. Called my sister & she went out. We saw some shooting stars too. Then we saw the “satellite” followed by another light. I attempted to get a pic. Success!

On Monday, 09/06/2021 my friend (recently retired Homer policeman) sent me a text saying that a buddy of his on the Fairbanks police force had seen a UFO. He forwarded two video clips of the UFO from his police friend. Apparently it was "dead quiet" when the UFO was overhead. The FPD officer also said that it wasn't long after seeing the UFO that four jets (from Eielson AFB) did a number of passes in the area - what the police officer presumed was in search of the UFO.

A friend and I were out taking pictures of the Aurora when I noticed an unusual light above us. It was at least twice as bright as the nearest stars and I noticed it was moving. I quickly grabbed my tripod and camera and moved it so the object was in the field of view. As I was doing this the object appeared to increase speed and the light emitted or reflected from the object dimmed to red and faded out as it sped away. My camera was set up for a 10 second exposure on a 1 second delay and the image shows a streak of light from the object. Object was at very high altitude and not an aircraft that I’m familiar with. All of us present agreed it was like nothing we have ever seen. Object was travelling West Northwest. Object seemed to maneuver showing a less reflective surface as it sped away could possibly explain the light from the UFO and how it changed. Object did not display normal meteor characteristics, No aircraft or satellites were in the area either from searching online services. I can provide the photo which is unmodified.

It was flat like a Frisbee with no center. The entire underneath was a blueish color. It had a bright green (mistaked it for the aurora at first glance) gas like aura as it hovered, then it started to move. Shortly after leaving a glowing gas cloud behind, it shot upwards which my photos show. I frantically tried to get the camera set up. Missed the glowing craft its self, but the exhaust photo corroborates my claim. This thing was massive. Several 747 jets could have fit within the circumference.
