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.

My dad took these pictures on his phone at 3am. He watched this blue circular object move up, down and to the sides for almost two hours. Some people say it could be a satellite, but I didn't think they moved in different directions in the same place for almost two hours. I have 3 short videos also if there's a good place to upload. My dad thinks is was maybe a mile or so out, but it seemed close and pretty large.

For the course of 30 minutes we witnessed what we thought was just a satellite moving across the night sky, but then shortly after (10 to 30 seconds) there was another from the same direction forming a line. There were at least thirty in a row moving west from Lake Elsinore area toward Riverside/Moreno Valley... these were small lights, moving very fast. It was very odd especially since planes are not flying at the moment. There was no sound either. After 30 minutes there was no more activity and the sky was quiet.

I was driving my children home from dinner and my son pointed at something in the sky that looked like a large floating city. I pulled over my vehicle to get a better vantage point on what he was seeing. We could see what appeared like an enormous craft moving from west to east. I took out my phone and began taking pictures. After taking several pictures, the craft appeared to combine intro one large bright light initially and then the light multiplied into several separate bright lights totaling around 12 separate lights. The lights appeared to be descending from the craft towards the ground at a very rapid descent. Within seconds of their descent, the lights vanished along with the larger craft. I have photos of each step of this event captured to the best of my ability. I was shaken, and could not believe what I had just witnessed. During the entire event, there appeared be several helicopters circling the large craft. We could faintly make out the sound ! of the helicopters, which numbered at least 6-8. They remained in the area circling the same area even after the craft disappeared.

Somebody just passed a BS story of a missile test at 1807. You don't test missiles over a dam residential neighborhood. Missile launch. PD

I was about to enter my home with my brother around 9:00 pm on June 13, 2017 after a couple hours playing Pokémon Go when I saw a bright white spherical object moving at about the speed you would expect an airplane to move almost directly above my location. It was a fairly clear night but the elevation of the object was unclear. The object was brighter than the stars behind it and was moving north to south from my location in Murrieta, CA. I decided to watch the object to see if it had the blinking lights that you would typically see on an aircraft such as an airplane or helicopter. As I watched the object I never saw any of those blinking lights. Then the strange part happened. The object gained speed over the Temecula valley and it also started to rapidly gain altitude. The once bright spherical object that was over my head was now abruptly getting dimmer and further and further away and eventually completely disappeared over the constellation Scorpios. This all happened in a time span of about 2 minutes. I continued to watch the sky for several more minutes and I did not see any sign of the object again.
