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.

Was sitting upstairs feeding baby and looking out window to pass time. Saw lights in the form of a triangle above the house across the street. Was sitting still then started moving slowing. Vanished in thin air. Just gone and never reappeared.

Green UFO spotted from North Lake Elsinore moving Northwest at extremely high rate of speed, faster than any aircraft. The speed made me think it was a crashing aircraft, but the angle did not match. The shape was unidentifiable, looked like just a green light.

So my family and I were at a baseball stadium that was for haunted houses so very dark so the stars were very easy to see and in the distance we saw about 30 to 40 stars and we thought it was a constellation but they all started to move so three of us stay and watched them and they all moved into one big ball of light like a huge star and we looked away for not even a minute and it just disappeared, not one light in the sky. Like it was never there. And we kept looking all night and couldn’t see it again.

Around 1 a.m. about 4 lights started flying in formation with their lights flashing in secession. within 5 minutes of the first 4 lights, about 16 more joined and they began flying around in a fluid like motions huddling together and then dispersing. The lights were very high in the sky, and moved too quickly and changed direction too rapidly to be any known aircraft. After about 2 hours they started to disperse a few at a time until they were entirely gone from sight.
