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.

Alien driving car, face to face encounter. As I was driving to get snacks I stopped at the stop sign and proceed to let the car to the right of me go. As it pasted me I thought it was a bald man. As the grey car (sorry not a car person I do not know make or model) gets halfway through the intersection I noticed this "man's" skin was very grey. My headlights were shinning directly in car. I proceed to move my gaze down the forehead and into the eyes. Where I saw two extremely black eyes looking back at me. My heart stopped when my brain understood that I was face to face with a grey alien who was driving a car. As he was pulling out he looked back at the road and drove away. I wish I thought to take a picture in those five seconds but I was in pure shock and terror. I've always believed they were out there but face to face with one is a shock that I was not ready for. I do not believe it was a mask in any form, the head moved to easily with no wrinkles in the neck area and the eye shape was not makeup the whole entire eye was oval. I know they can do magic with make-up but I am in the world of film and have amazing 20/10 vision . The chills that I feel when my gaze met "his" is enough for me to know, I came face to face with a grey alien today. They are here, with us, even driving our cars around. This is a lot to take in, we are not alone. The universe is huge its impossible that we are, but real confirmation with my own eyes, has me shook and it will for a long time.

He is an ex-Air Force officer and is quite familiar with planes. He doesn't believe it is a plane in the background; I believe it could be. I thought I would send the picture for your review.

After about 1 minute it appeared directly overhead as I thought. At an arm's length, it appeared 1/2 the size of my thumb (1/2"). The fireball continued at the same altitude, color, and speed. The sky was mostly clear with patches of thin clouds, thin enough to still see stars through. I'd say it was moving within the clouds as the clouds collected some of it's light. My rough altitude estimate is 1,000-4,000ft. Amazed at how long this object was lasting I debated to grab a camera, call a neighbor, or continue to watch. I went to another room to grab my camera and was again amazed it was still visible and continuing on in the same manner when I returned. I thought I was recording video. I switched my attention from my phone to my window until it was no longer visible in my phone screen. I called my dad and told him what I was looking at and it disappeared from sight halfway through our conversation. Judging by the phone call and timing running from room to room, I'd say the event lasted 10 minutes. When I say it disappeared, I mean it was too small to see. I watched it from pretty much horizon to horizon. When I look at a map and think about its trajectory, it's likely it was traveling precisely east to west. As for the video I captured, a disappointing, shaky second long video. I later realized the following week my touch screen had dead spots in it. So, activating the video was clunky. I will send a digital drawing I did of the fireball.

I saw a small golden/orange orb when I was on a walk. It was behaving unlike any normal aircraft. The way it arced through the sky and faded in and out of sight I knew exactly what I was seeing. I have actually reported Ufos on this site the last two years matching this exact description. I noticed a couple post within the last couple weeks matching this description in my general area. After I quickly realized what I was seeing I said to myself here comes the jets, and sure enough within a couple seconds I heard a jet going in the direction it disappeared to.
