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.

Was driving westbound on Highway 37 at the corner of my eye I saw a large what I thought was a helicopter crash. The mountain range about 10 miles to my right after I saw it I realize it was not a helicopter and it seem like a big box flying in the air and at first I thought it was a helicopter that was repairing the power lines that run along parallel to 37 about 5 miles towards the Naval communication station at stags island, after watching it for a few seconds, I started videotaping it and realized it was not a helicopter the way it was moving in the size of the object just as I seen the one that was watching the movement a second one Creston, about a mile or two west of the first one. They seem to be in sync and at the same time at some points it look like the object was a square it was a circle it was a cone and appoints it look like it had something hanging from it, the first object moving closer, and then retreating on the same aspect, Darding across the mountain range back-and-forth and eventually landing, and as it landed, I seen type of a heat sink. Also, the second one did did the same thing and then eventually camouflage his self on the mountain side, and disappeared into the mountain range.

A trail of 4 bright lights and then they were almost in square. They moved left to right up down and changed color. Then one disappeared and then another. This was not a drone or a ballon. No sound

I was looking at what I thought was the big dipper, noticing the stars flicker as one near the end of the "handle" was brightening and started to flicker red and white like an airplane's nav light so I continued to focus on that stationary I'll say "light". after about 4 seconds the light with no delay or buildup of speed rapidly moved from due southeast to due west at easily about 3-4 times the speed of airplanes in view or about half the speed of a meteor burning up maybe twice the speed of a satellite. Then stopped flashing red to pulsing white only, fading over a span of 90° or so from my location. I have viewed many satellites/space junk, meteors, aircraft and some spacecraft and this was not an identifiable object. Basically it blended in with the other stars in color, stability, glint and Size until it decided to brighten change color a few times instantly get to its desired speed to a fading white pulse while exiting stage right, taking only a few seconds. It appeared to be outside the atmosphere but I really couldn't say for sure. Thanks, good luck.

I was outside with a neighbor and crew members from the local Fire Dept. I saw a bright red light descending high over the sky like a flare. The weather was cloudy so the clouds surrounding it were lit up as well. I asked the fire crew what it was and they said a flare. I heard one guy say, "you can hear it, too." When I walked into a more open area and turned my head I could hear a muffled "roar." It was difficult to determine a shape, but maybe a upside "V" would be the best way to describe it. My neighbor said, "I don't know what it is but something is on fire." If was gone or disappeared into the clouds in about a minute. I contacted the police dept and USGS 12 hours later to see if there were any reports and they both said, "no."
