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.

We were enjoying the meteor shower on the beach of Lake Michigan off the private community of Cobmoosa Shores in Shelbym Michigan. We witnessed several shooting stars and satellites. It was myself, my partner, our 12 year old son and his friend. This bright circle sphere oval was very large and coming from the north. It travelled past us and we continued to watch it and suddenly it disappeared. While we were observing the only person who had a phone was my son and I asked him to take a video but he didn’t LISTEN and just took a picture. As clear as the sky was though the only thing that pleated was this unifentified flying object, not even a single star of the millions we seen showed up with it. We continued to watch after this observation to see if satellites disappeared or we could see across the whole sky we could. We watched airplanes to see the same. On our way home near Kokomo, Indiana, strange things were happening on our car map which made me look into things and figured I should report this.

Then he pointed it out to me. It was to the west, like over lake michigan, which was about 15 mins away. It looked like a star but would change to a lite blue, to red, to star white. It would move from left to right then down then up and back left, and then go though it's colors again. I couldn't belive it and ran inside and woke my whole family up. My dad was amazed, my mom and sisters didn't know what to think, my daughters were amazed, and it freaked the heck out of my 13 yr old son. We can't have been the only ones to see this. It was incredible!
