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 doing situps on the paved trail and saw a string of evenly spaced craft that looked like satellites.. hopefully. Covered from the south horizon to the northeastern horizon.

The day was clear with high scattered clouds. I left the local grocery store and went to my car. I always look up at the sky at the clouds. They were scattered and big and fluffy towards the southwest. I saw a commercial jet coming from the north (Las Vegas) heading south as if it had just taken off from the airport. Very low. I watched it and as it got about 11 o'clock, almost above me I saw a Long tube like object with a smaller silver sphere in the front, a very large sphere in the middle and a more squared off section in the back. The center sphere had a large ring around it that appeared separate from the sphere. The back squared off portion appeared to have smaller ports of some kind on the back. It appeared right behind the plane I had been watching and it was significantly larger than the plane. I tried to get my phone out to take a photo but it was moving and as it moved it appeared to blank out in places and while I could still see it shining, I could not make its outline out or see it clearly anymore. By the time I got a photo it was only a tiny dot. It moved way quicker than the plane was moving. I did draw a photo of what I saw.

I don't think it was a craft it was a meteor, but with a red tail, it was splitting apart, and it looked like to me was electronic material because it was flashing like if it was a plane. So I'm thinking it might be a satellite, or maybe it's light reflecting, because it could of came from warm wood releasing the iron if anyone knows what I'm talking about it's an object bigger than Jupiter. I don't know if I can call it a planet. Anyway that's my observation. Re-entering space debris. PD
