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 outside in my back room when I saw a bright orange light appear in the sky. All the dogs in the area started barking about this time. I thought it may be a satellite at first because it was moving at a steady pace in one direction till it stopped and began traveling in a complete opposite direction. I had time to get my father out of bed to see what I was seeing. This light was very bright at times then would go dim when it went to move it went from one place to another with ease. Never did go to one direction fast though it was a steady back and forth motion. I could see a outline of a black figure behind the light but never could exactly distinguish if it was circular for a triangular shape. At times I could have sworn there was 2 extra lights that would appear this went on for what seemed 20 to 30 mins till the object once moved where I originally seen it then disappeared. I have never seen anything like it. I definitely can not explain what I seen. My cell phone camera would not pick up what I was seeing.

Approximately 8:45 PM on May 3, 2018, between the towns of Chilhowie and Saltville, VA, my two sons, ages 11 and 17, witness something amazing. As they were facing west (slightly southwest) they saw Venus with a very similar object nearby. It was slightly higher altitude and just to the south. Both of them were immediately confused. They are very familiar with the night sky and are used to seeing the one bright object. They knew they had never seen two similar objects in those positions before. They observed both objects for at least 5 to 7 seconds. Then the object that was higher in altitude and slightly to the south simply went away. I was driving the car and could not look to see the objects, yet they were narrating the experience the entire time. Their reaction was quite earnest and not dramatic in anyway. They obviously had the same experience simultaneously. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. She seemed quite familiar with the positions of visible planets, at the time of the sighting. PD
