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.

Looking West and about 1500 ft I saw a very brilliant sphere. It stayed steady for about 5-10 min. then dipped into the low clouds and was not seen leaving the cloud.

Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. No photo arrived at our Center, so we're certain not to post it, as the party who didn't send the photo requests… PD
