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.

While making deliveries on River Road, I saw what I thought was a drone in the sky. It was large, roughly the size of an SUV, and hovering between 70 to 120 feet in the sky over a department store. I pulled over to watch it, but didn't think to take pictures because it had red flashing indicator lights on it, which I took to mean it was following FAA regulations. It began to suddenly drift toward the east hill, moving at maybe 30mph. I began driving again but couldn't find it on the other side. It didn't make any sound, and the more I thought of it in retrospect, it bothered me how big it was. I've never seen a drone that large, and though it was dark, I made out no wings or hoops that might have held propellers. It was shaped like an oval, but it had sharp edges along the front and back, almost like a car. In addition to the red light that seemed to flash every few seconds, there was a white indicator light as well, but I don't recall the frequency with which it flashed. I called the police station later that morning and they didn't cite any other reports. I know it wasn't a plane or a helicopter. And I'm yet to see a drone that's more than 15 feet long.

Solid red light moving quickly across night sky, then turning back and moving quickly the other way with brief white light, then red again. No flashing lights, just solid color. No sound. Then disappeared off to my right out of sight.

Saw a bright, diamond shaped light shoot up into the sky. I pointed it out to two friends and we watched it rise into the night sky, and then accelerate above us, heading northeast at incredible speed, faster than airplanes that we watch overhead throughout the day everyday. It was about as high in the sky as helicopters normally fly, but much faster, with a solid bright white light that was not blinking or flashing. The object was also noiseless, despite its remarkable speed and low altitude. We watched it fly northeast for about 15-20 mins before it was out of view

Approximately 11 PM 12/31/16, observed bright red starlike light stationary North of Saint George, Ut, at 45 degrees above horizon. A fuzzy blue green light of irregular shape was moving at varying distances beneath it disappearing and reappearing at intervals. After about 45 seconds the red light gradually faded away without changing position. The blue/green light reappeared twice more briefly and then was gone. No shapes were discernable.
