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.

I was at the backyard when I looked up at the sky and saw this strange object coming from out of the clouds over the house. I couldn't make out what it was. After a few seconds I rang back in the house to get the cell phone to record what I could .I got the cell phone and grabbed my father running back to record. It had moved very quickly I tock some pics and videos. It had started in south east and moved towards north west. It made a slit tilt movement and moved real fast upward then continued north west .I had a hard time keeping the camera on it at times it just disappeared and reappeared further or in another direction as if by a snap of a finger. by the last video it was moving on a more gradual pace towards the west. There was never any sound of any kind coming from the object not even when it was at its closest when it was over the house. It lasted for about 45 minutes. It just kept getting further away until it just disappeared in thing air. My father was with me. All photos and videos have the time and day stamps in the cell phone. I wasn't sure who to report this to hence the time it tock me to do so.

It was 5:40 AM Friday I was on my way to the car, to head to work. I went to the back area of my house and then saw the ball of light flying south, I noticed it made no sound and there was no indication of flashing light from a plane or helicopter. I ran inside and told my father to look at the object, it flew pretty close to my area at pretty fast speeds he shrugged it off as a satellite but it looked too close to the ground to be a satellite. There is the Homestead Air Reserve Base nearby so I thought it could be a military plane but the object kept flying south, also planes fly in the outskirts of my town in both flight patterns south or north depending on the wind direction but fly rarely above residential areas.

When I originally first saw the light/craft, it went across the sky very smooth, upon further inspection I thought it was a helicopter until I realised there was no noise and only one singular light, I then defaulted to a drone explaination but the radio interference as well as it using from what my hypothesis is a mixture of sound and magnetism was able to float and fly seamless in the atmosphere, when it vacated the premises, it made a large “zap” sound as if from a cliche movie.
