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.

Long Beach, CA
At 2:33 am pst, as i was going to my bathroom on the second floor, i looked out my window saw a ( fire ball ) with trailing red and orange flames moving from WNW to SE. I thought it might be an aircraft with flaming engine or maybe some kind of space junk, i estimated my sight was 45 degrees horizontal plane. This object was moving in a horizontal direction for about 11/2 minutes before the flames went out. After the flames went out there was a small bright dot with a faint glow behind it that continue for 3-5 minutes moving SE. But after this, a lower orange ball of light appeared well below about 10 degrees horizontal plane, that appeared to circle for 30 seconds and disappeared.

Moved fast, not in a straight line. Was over my backyard for about 20 minutes before it started moving forward. Very very strange. I’m not sure if these pictures or videos uploaded correctly

It was nearing sunset and the moon was nearly full and out in the sky. I saw a cylinder shaped craft cross in front of the moon and travel south towards Seal Beach, California…until it disappeared into the midair. There were no clouds in the sky. It was moving very slow. It had no lights flashing on it. It had no sound. It had a shadow on the bottom and was very shiny on top. It was right above Long Beach Harbour in, Long Beach, California.

For initial description, please see the pictures. There is also an impressive red light activity around this UFO seen on the video I took of the sightseeing ( it’s 2 min and 45 sec long ) but which I am unfortunately unable to download on your site ( it’s a video using my IPhone ). However, I can certainly send it to you via email, should you find, from the pictures I downloaded that they appear to be potential UFO material.
