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.

At approximately 10:30pm witness 1 pointed out a flying object in the sky. Witness 1 and witness 2 ruled out the object from being a plane, bird, and shooting star. The object did not have lights and was a circular shape. It moved fast in a straight line and disappeared within 6 seconds behind a cloud. There was only 1 object flying and it was the color grey.

Working in a rail yard, I looked up to the horizon and saw what I thought was a group of stars. I then saw that the mass of lights moved from the west to the east until it went behind a treeline. The lights were moving at a rapid speed for about 2-3 minutes. My coworker also saw the group of lights. We grabbed our phones to video it, but the lights would not show up on screen. A helicopter then came into the area and appeared to be following it.
