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.

Object appeared out of nowhere, and steadied over the tree line facing southeast. Within minutes, it was changing colors (from orange to white, to blood red, to yellow and even hints of purple). Green was also emitting at certain moments. There was no definite shape to the "object" and a red aura was noticed by three witnesses around it. Random spots of red, shapeshifting objects were spotted coming out of the main object itself, which we caught via photographs. With the main object, there were three smaller objects progressing around and from it. After about 25 minutes of moving at a slower speed and changing shape, the object zoomed off into the sky within seconds, disappearing into the sky.

Franklinton, NC
It was a circular looking ball of fire falling towards the west. There was just one in the sky. It was burning as it was falling. At first, I thought it was a shooting star but it was too large and too close. I noticed that it looked like it was on fire and realized it was engulfed in flames. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
