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.

My husband and I were driving back home on I43 near the exit for 23 when my husband got my attention to an object that was a sphere and silver and shiny, had to be of decent size in the sky. After a minute 1 round light turned on that was white in color, for a few seconds we lost site of the image and when we seen it the sphere was entirely black and going behind a cloud until it was gone. Was moving slowly, then would hover for a few seconds. It just vanished. Watched for it on 23 and seen nothing more.

I visited Kohler Andres State Park to watch the waves during a gale warning. I snapped a bunch of pictures of the waves on my iPhone and later on, when I was reviewing the pictures, I noticed the black triangle UFO above the waves. I did not see or notice it with my own eyes; it was only on the photo. I was the only person on the beach at the time. High winds from the west was shearing off the tops of the waves. As for background, I’m not a photographer, but I am a trained storm spotter. I have a bachelor of science in English and a Masters of Public Administration. I had taken a vacation day to enjoy the fall colors and see the big waves.
