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.

This was still going on as of 5 minutes ago, I came in to fill out the report. Appears to the naked eye to be a bright white light but at times you can see red and yellow in it also. Looks about the size of a grapefruit and is at about a 45 degree angle above the horizon. My husband came home and said that there were 3 helicopters in the area which is unusual. About all we ever see for those are medical ones. He started telling me about this big bright light out in the west/southwest. I went out and looked and came in and got the video camera. Looking at the screen on max zoom (75x i.zoom) Panasonic HC-V130 camera) When I first located it, it was more like a bright white light but, as I zoomed in, it took on the shape of a diamond. The diamond looked to be a white or but, milky, not bright white. Other times, in the video it looks different shapes and a darker color like a charcoal gray. The night is clear, stars and moon visible. There are some towers about 6 miles west of here but, they have strobing lights and I am very familiar with them. I do not know what this is but, it is not a plane, helicopter or any other type of aircraft I am familiar with. I took several videos and a couple still pics. I just went to the back door to look out, it was 20:31 and it was gone. Sighting of Sirius?? PD
