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.

On June 28th 2020, I was looking out of my living room window and noticed there many police cars rushing down the street. They had blocked the street off so traffic could not get through, so I decided to walk down the street to see what was going on. It turned out that it was unfortunately a fatal accident between a car and a motorcycle. I decided to take a picture with my iPhone of the accident and returned back home. I took a look at the picture that I had taken and noticed an object in the center of my photo. It is shaped like a black teardrop with two tail-fins. I did not hear any sounds. At the time that I took the picture, I did not see it nor was I aware of this object at the time, however, when I hold my finger on the photo, it appears and disappears as though traveling at a high speed. The photo is on “live” which means it records a split second before and after the photo is taken.

This morning, approximately around 6:40 am, I was outside and noticed a reflection on my glass door of a greenish, blue and yellowish glowing ball (like a fireball) moving across the sky. I turned around to face it and it was moving fast, headed for earth. I saw it for maybe 35 second (includes the time I first spotted it as a reflection), before homes and trees blocked my view., I actually stayed quiet and still, waiting for a loud crash or a jolt, which I did not hear or feel. Note: I was not sure about which shape to select, but it was between the fireball and the teardrop. There was definitely a roundness to it, but had a tail like a fireball falling from the sky at great speed, This ball was quite brightly glowing, considering the morning sky was fairly lit, and my glass door was dusty,. Video captured by a beach camera at Doheny Park, Dana Pt., CA. Object appears to us to be a meteor, streaking from west to east. Please see video on NUFORC homepage. PD

Cerritos, CA
I am reporting what a friend said to me, after driving down the 405 freeway south, just north the 22 split - along the naval base that parallels the freeway. An orange-red ball was about 30 feet above the ground and following traffic (as I understand) but at a different speed. Then the ~36 inch ball at a point in time turned into a FIREBALL, and continued to move out of range of people on the freeway who could see it. I suspect perhaps at least 20 other drivers may have seen it. I hope someone's dash cam captured it! Lasted less than 40 seconds, I understand. I remain anonymous. I hope others also report this incident! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hello, 19 Sep 2014 Yes I heard the C2C show this week and heard your report of a 3 ft UFO above the Boulevard near Disneyland. I saw a similar thing 10 miles away just 3 ft above my head and patio cover, around 2 ~ 3AM. I walked outside to investigate the racket of a very nearby helicopter. To my surprise there were THREE objects maneuvering within 20 ft of my patio cover in the dark with no perception of on board lights; just a ghostly fluorescence. All sorts of maneuvers that I couldn’t hear. After 2 minutes I became scared and ran back into my house. One object looked like a 3ft white fluorescent goodyear blimp, but without any markings or lights. It could perform complicated Spins both forwards, or backwards.
