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.

I was loading up my truck after completing a project in the shop when I heard plain as day in my own voice inside my head “hey look over here” it seemed like it was coming from up and behind me in the sky so I turned around and looked up into the sky and saw what I initially thought was a satellite. Then again as I was looking at this satellite looking thing, in my own voice except in my head not audible I heard “say cheese” and then the brightest flash just emanated from this thing that I thought was a satellite. It startled me and I thought no way that came from that satellite. So i figured someone was up in the treeline with a bright light i just couldn’t believe that flash came from the satellite so I grabbed my flashlight out of the truck and proceeded to conduct a search through the trees thinking it was someone messing with me. No one was there, nothing was there.

I was walking with my family past our horse barn approaching the top of this old apple orchard and my three and half year son points up above the orchard and says “what’s that” we all look and we see what we all agree on was a shiny whirlwind which slowly began moving up higher and higher into the bluebird sky from on top of the orchard hill. My dad and I picked up our pace and moved up the hill to the location where we first saw lit keeping our eyes locked on the phenomenon. We both describe it as silvery shiny orb like things that resembled a school of fish if they were stuck in a vortex. We got really close probably within 50ft and watched as this shiny vortex just moved up up and away. It eventually disappeared as it passed out of view over the ridge line about 400 yards to the NE and 500 ft or so above our initial position. Whatever it was it was magical and none of us would have seen it if my kid hadn’t called it out while we were walking.
