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.

Red/Orange stationary light left a short tail behind it as it shifted to the left then dimmed for a few seconds then became bright again. Proceed to move in the infinity sign before becoming stationary again. No clouds in sky when this happened.

Object was due East of me visible just over my neighbor's roof line. Object looked stationary for a while. It then slowly went away to the East. No sign of heat or vapor trail. Was not a plane, helicopter or launch from Kennedy. No signal towers in this direction either. Photo taken with a 18-400mm lens at full zoom. Photo has not been cropped or altered.

At midnight I was taking out our dog and noticed a light in the sky that was rapidly changing colors. I called my Daughter out to view. We used a telescope to get a better look. It was oval in shape and hovered to our west before slowly moving westward out of site.

I walked outside to get my cigarettes from my car, when suddenly, I felt a strange feeling. I looked up and just beside the trees was a red and green flashing light, moving erratically in a zig-zag fashion, only to stop and hover for some time, leading me to conclude it was not a plane and could not be a star due to it's various flashing colors. A hazy beam of light could then be seen emanating from it as if searching for something. I stood there for nearly 10 minutes until I heard a dull humming noise coming from the direction of the UFO. I felt suddenly overwhelmed with fear and ran back inside.
