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 walking my dog and the encounter happened too quickly, so I was unfortunately unable to film this brief encounter. I heard a few airplanes in the sky. I love to watch them fly, so I took a look and saw 2 airplanes SE and SW of my position. Between them, nearly dead-on South, I saw a dark, almost black orb hanging suspended in the sky, quite high up. It didn't even take a second before the object turned (I assume that is what happened), revealing that the object was in fact a dull gray color and shaped like a fat cigar. After turning, the object headed quickly in a SE direction and disappeared from sight due to a combination of trees and buildings. The entire encounter couldn't have lasted more than 4 seconds, if even that long. The skies were almost perfectly clear, with most clouds being light, fluffy, and to the East and North. The object was between 40-50 degrees above the horizon.

A single point of reflective light moved across the sky. At first blush appeared to be a plane. But, was too small, was too high in the sky, and moved erratically, at some points moving forward rapidly, then coming to a full stop, then moving forward slowly, then stopping again, then rapidly. After it stopped the last time, it sat for a minute, and then, for lack of a better term, “blinked”, and then shot off at an incredible speed, seemingly further up into the atmosphere until it could no longer be seen

I walked outside and saw a orange circular object flying higher than normal. I told my girlfriend to look outside and she said it was a star and then it exploded in the upper atmosphere. But it was travelling really slow

I had been sitting by my firepit since 9pm, feeding the fire and thinking about life. I live near a hospital and not too far from the airports and constantly hear/see conventional aircraft of all sorts. At about 12:40 a.m., this overwhelming energy and humming/thwomping reverberation lowered over my house as well as a dark shroud/cloud. I had never felt anything like it. The interaction lasted maybe 3 minutes and then I felt and saw the energy dissipate. Didn't feel scared or threatened, if anything I felt connection and understanding. After the event I heard the most bizarre owl call that was unexplainable, like nothing I've heard before.
