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.

Me and three friends were fishing on the Ocean Springs harbor pier at Front Beach. This pier faces south towards the Mississippi sound and into the Gulf of Mexico. Nearby areas of interest include Keesler Air Force Base. In which alot of airforce activity has been taking place day and night for the past few days, mainly consisting of C-130 Transport planes. The time was around 9:30 PM as we were fishing when me and one of my friends caught a glimpse of a green orb object travelling in a west-to-east at an estimated 65 degrees south of us in the night sky from where we observed it. The object was travelling at a high rate of speed and as it passed it appeared to be moving in a loose zig zag pattern, after it passed us it appeared to change trajectory more downwards, when suddenly what can best be described as a "flame-out" occured, in which the object was briefly covered in flames and appeared to burn out before vanishing in thin air. The object made no sound and not much light reflection, no trail or exhaust was observed.

We thought is was a drone but as it got in front of the moon, it had no outline or shadow.

Don't have much time as I'm going to bed! Took the dogs out and saw what I initially thought were three helicopters flying in a somewhat triangular formation. Didn't notice any flashing lites, though. Just orangish lites probably 3 - 4 miles (estimate) to the northeast. Objects were coming from the east. Was curious so I went in to get my cellphone but too far away for a pic. Saw more coming from the same direction, but not in formation. Just one after another. Went back in to find binoculars and viewed only one. No flashing lites at all, just an orange light. All objects seemed to be going in what may have been a clockwise motion. They came from the east, rotated to the northwest, the disappeared to the north-northeast (possibly into the clouds/haze. I'm estimating there may have been 7, but possibly more. May not have been an "alien" ufo, but pretty definitely not airplanes/helicopters (also I listened for, but heard no noise). Also, based on their "flight" pattern, I don't think they were Chinese lanterns and they were not falling as flares would fall. Anyway, this is the first time I've filed a report. (But sometime I will tell you an interesting story about a UFO in Indiana around 1982. Includes a military conference call that included a general and some interesting comments from our control tower at Grissom AFB in Peru Indiana.)

Sittin on the front porch around 11pm-midnight when me and my two roommates notice this red fireball like orb appear in the sky towards South East from ocean springs, it decended down approximately 300 feet before it started strafing side to side.
