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 sitting in my living room when I noticed a very bright light towards the west. At first I thought it was Jupiter or Venus. Then I realized it was under the dark cloud layer. There was still a sliver of light on the western horizon. The object sparkled with several colors. I retrieved my binoculars, but couldn't make out the size or shape of the object. It was stationary for a while. It appeared to be over the Holston Army Ammunition Plant which is across the Holston River from my neighborhood. After a while it began slowly approaching my location. I took my binoculars and went to the front porch. Here I observed several variously-colored lights. I noted a large red light that appeared on the bottom. This bright red light was constant. As it got closer I couldn't understand what shape it was. It continued over my house and I lost sight of it. One thing that really stuck out in my mind was the absence of a anti-collision or beacon lights, which are required and strobe a brilliant white light visible for at least 20 miles. The object seemed compact and to have some thickness. The colored lights were at the edges. No noise, no trail, moved in a straight line.

Different color flashing lights. Then a flying object just bolted thru the sky.

I walked outside to my second story back porch at 12:16am and immediately saw movement in the sky. It was triangular in shape, completely silent and had a round, white light, on the bottom of the triangle near each corner. The lights were noticeably dimmed. It is a cold and mostly clear night. I couldn’t believe it. It gave me chills as I saw it slowly disappear into the distance. It just faded out of sight. It was traveling East to West almost exactly because I used the compass on my phone afterwards, so I would know the direction that it was traveling for reporting. It was difficult to guesstimate the altitude but it seemed to be at about the same height or a little higher than Bays Mountain. It was traveling almost exactly perpendicular with Bays Mountain on the North side, heading in the direction of the Holston Army Ammunition Plant. It looked exactly like a triangular craft that I found online when I googled “Triangular UAP” right after it happened. It was moving fairly slow and disappeared out of view. The whole encounter was maybe 5-10 seconds. Absolutely incredible! This is the second triangular craft that I have seen in the area. About 5-6 years ago, I saw a black pyramid shaped craft during the daytime in this same area. Very close proximity. I did not report the first sighting, but I can tell you that it was exactly like the one that was following the USS Omaha about a year ago. When I saw the footage on TV, I was floored because it is exactly what I saw, except I saw mine in broad daylight. I have heard rumor that bombs are stored in the mountain at the Holston Army Ammunition plant, which is part of Bays Mountain AND the exact direction that this craft was moving towards. Below, I uploaded a screenshot of the area the craft was traveling through and marked the direction that it was moving with a red arrow. This is also the exact area of which I saw it

At 7:00 PM on 3/6/2022 I was driving east on East Main Street, when I observed 3 reddish-orange lights in an isosceles triangle out my driver-side window. They were in the northeastern quadrant of the sky about 45 degrees from the horizon. My first thought was, "I didn't know there was a radio tower there." When I realized the actual altitude of the lights, I pulled over and stopped by Lyons Construction Services, to get a better view. The point of the triangle was pointing "up." I observed the lights for about a minute and then they simply weren't there anymore. I didn't see anything physical connecting the lights. They never moved at all. I know they weren't flares because I've see lot's of flares and they didn't fit a description of flares. They were not aircraft, either. There was no sound. Once they disappeared, I proceeded to my destination.

The object first went across with no jet streams behind it. Five minutes later it appeared going in the same circular routine. It appeared 5 separate times and would hide back and forth behind the clouds. Some of the appearances had the streams behind it like a jet. It was so bright like as if it was iridescent. It had no sound. Last time it came by it had a set of wings on each side .
