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.

On the evening of July the 19th, I was outside at approximately 10:00 PM gazing upon the southern night sky. I noticed that about three to four, what appeared to be, commercial aircraft lights. Only one of the aircraft was following a rather typical flight pattern and that is what caught the attention to that of my curiosity. The three lights that were out of the typical flight patterns, are what I was watching. All three were at about a 30° angle from the south sky. One was traveling east and the other two were traveling west, with about a 4° gap spacing between. While watching the two lights traveling westward, the one lighted object, which was in between the other two lights, simply just vanished before my eyes. I've ruled out an iridium flare, for I am lucky to have witnessed one in the daytime years ago. I would also like to add that the lighted object that vanished, never had any flashing anti-collision lights.

Object was seen at dusk. Not sure of the exact clock time. Facing east. Looked like a very large bright star. Stayed in one spot for about 4 minutes. Began to move away slowly from left to right horizontally. Then picked up speed rapidly and and began to climb upward in a slight ark. It went from being at a one o clock position on the horizon to being out of sight at the right side of the horizon in about 1 second. There was no sound. It definitely moved faster than a human could survive. Not sure if this is related, but, the next day, during the day, it was cloudless. In the same relative spot from my vantage point, small single clouds would form only one at a time and then disappear in less than 30 seconds or less. This was the only cloud formation in the sky. Very small clouds from my vantage point. Never saw anything like that before. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

I am 100% certain that this is not a jet/plane, a satellite, another celestial body, or the I.S.S. It has a very bright light and is constantly moving in all directions back and forth. Zig-zag, infinity pattern, etc.

Was first spotted above a wooded area about 3-4 miles away. The object was very still with many flashing colors including red, blue, green, and white. These colors appear to be under the object. At one point it turned a bit to its side and I was able to see the shape of the craft which was circular. After about an hour, it started to move up and further away at a very slow rate. It was a clear sky and no clouds in sight.

The UFO was spotted over a treeline from our backyard by 3 witnesses. It stayed in place for over an hour, and was bright in the sky (2 planes passed by for reference and though they were closer to us, they appeared roughly the same size as the UFO and generated less/fewer lights). Viewing the UFO through binoculars yielded a clear view of a disc shaped craft with prismatic colors (all colors of the spectrum) along its perimeter (looked like flashing Christmas tree lights around a disc).
