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 to the North West observed what at first appeared to be a satellite or the ISS traveling across the sky. Single light traveling West. Appeared to slow, then turned to a South heading, got very bright, then faded to nothing.

Me and about 15 other friends were sitting around a bonfire last night, we all at once looked up to see a bright red-ish ball of light in the sky, I know for a fact that it was a possible UFO and or 'being' and was not a conventional aircraft. I see normal aircraft on approach to chicago airports Midway and O'hare all that time. This object moved slowly then stopped 3 different times then went straight down towards the earth at crazys speeds than stopped around 10k feet for about 5 seconds and without a sound vanished as if it were never there. This is my first time ever seeing something like this, and kind of scared us. I am still having a hard time understanding what we all saw last night.

looked like a line with a small head at the end of the direction it was going and looked like the air crafts were surrounded in fire
