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.

In the second video it was almost just above where that rocket looking things was launching vertical then drastically took a 90° turn and started flying horizontal and it was emitting a red orange smoke trail. After the rocket disappeared the UFO continued into the atmosphere as the sun came up.

Thought I was looking at a revolving lighthouse as I drove through a construction zone south of Raton through some mountainous terrain. It was there for about 15 seconds and caught my eye because it was revolving. I was trying to look inside, as one of the "windows?" came into view, and it vanished.

I was driving through northern New Mexico, and I was in the middle of nowhere. There were no vehicles, no building, no planes. Nothing. Just me and the road. Suddenly a shimmering object appeared about 50 yards in front of me, just slightly off the ground and moving about the same speed. After about 30 seconds, the shimmering cloak fell, and a UFO was revealed. It looked more cylindrical than most pictures I have seen. I didn’t feel in danger. It just kept flying in front of me. Here I am in the middle of nowhere with no GPS, no phone, and no way to record what is happening, and a UFO is giving me an escort down a little 2-lane, windy country highway. This lasted about 5-10 minutes. It eventually cloaked, and then about 30 seconds later, it kinda “poofed” and I drove through the vanish. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen.
