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.

At approximately 7:21PM, during a heavy lightning show, which is quite unusual for California, we experienced an oblong glowing streak traveling horizontally which we believe to be a UFO for the duration of approximately 4 seconds. It appeared to be traveling from the south to the north. While I’ve had 40+ years of flying experience with my father who piloted a private aircraft, this is something I’ve never seen before, while at an unusually low altitude and very fast speed. Good video, but anomalous light may be a lens flare, caused by a car headlight. PD

Looking toward the southwest I noticed a gold colored light. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and plane-spotter. This light ontinued to grow in size and luminosity. I then recognized the light to be a meteor with 2 peculiarities: it was travelling West to East and it was a shimmery gold and monochromatic. It was also probably the longest duration event I've ever witnessed.
