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.

At approx. 9:18 pm my husband saw what he first thought was a shooting star. It suddenly stopped and stayed still. He got the binoculars out and noticed that it appears to be covered in green and red lights. He had me go out and look and that is what it looks like. My son could also see it from 8 miles away?
