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.

Well, I was in bed, getting ready to fall asleep, and out my window was a speeding ball of light and it stopped, floated and bolted off back to the darkness of the sky! It was like living or like alive acting. It reminded me of a bee, and it was the size of the moon, with light as bright as sun, flying like a bee or an alive communicating insect that zoomed in and then out! It was too bright of a light to see a craft, but the way it acted and came in and then out made me for sure think UFO!!
