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.

An object was crossing the sky in a seeming straight line and consistent slowish speed (a plane flew lower and went much faster). The sun was reflecting off the object so it was bright but it was spinning so it was twinkling. No sound. A plane flew under nearby it much faster and louder. I noticed it on the horizon and watched it cross across the sky above me for at least 5 minutes. Took a cell phone video which also seems to show it was spinning. No spoke or trail behind it. Thought it may be a balloon but appeared higher than the plane and also would have had to be very large to be visible from there. Also it was at a consistent speed and spin, not appearing to be in the wind. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

From my deck I looked up and saw a sun shaped object. It was yellow mixed with orange and the more I watched it the outside rim started to look black and looked like it was coming closer. I got scarred and I got out of it’s view. After 2 minutes I looked to see if it was there, but it had changed it’s shape into a Barbell. It was outlined in orange and was half put together. I could see the sky between it’s markings. I watched it as it finished it’s shape then it started moving, very slowly and disappeared as it went around a tall tree with yellow leaves. It had no sounds coming from it and I could see though the pattern markings and it showed no fuel sources .

Picture this, 10 at night in the middle of nowhere. I see three bright lights almost hovering maybe 200 yds off the ground. I literally stop my car and put down the window expecting to hear helicopter blades, but there's nothing. Just as I stop, the lights start moving toward me, very slowly... still no sounds until it is right over me, that when I can hear a hum and "whooshing"... I look up to see a wedge shape set of wings with various square areas underneath them, but NO fuselage... in fact it's more of a dent at the middle... mind you there is no airport anywhere near me.... I cannot explain it… Witness provides high-quality video, which indicates three lights, oriented in a triangular pattern. They are not inconsistent with the landing lights on the front of an airliner, although airliners usually have two lights, not three, we believe. PD

There are hundreds of them. I would be happy to show you and send some pictures I have taken. 2 years ago I saw what looked like a gray saucer leaving from this area. Happy hunting. Source of report provides aerial photos, which indicate modest circular marks, but they don't appear to us to be authentic crop formations. PD
