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.

The witness and a buddy were taking a walk in the woods near his house. His buddy sighted the silver disc craft first and they zoomed in on the object and started taking pictures (3). After hovering for about 5 minutes, the craft moved at unbelievable speed, first left, then right, then zoomed up and away as the witness described it “at a speed faster than anything they had ever seen”. Witness seems very credible and stable.

Witness and a buddy were taking a walk in the woods near his house. His buddy sighted the silver disc craft first, and using their cell phone zoomed in on the object and started taking 3 pictures. After hovering for about 5 minutes, the craft moved at unbelievable speed, first left, then right, then zoomed up and away as the witness described it “at a speed faster than anything they had ever seen”. Witness seems very credible and stable. This potential sighting of interest was investigated by MUFON and was given the conclusion of "Unknown UAV", closed, and approved. (CMS 113331, Larry Tyree). [Rating increased from 20 to 70 in favor of a close encounter II, photographic evidence of a structured object]

I came outside to smoke and saw a light and didn't think much of it but it got closer and stopped when i leaned to the left it mimicked my movements exactly. Thats when i noticed 3 others a big dark yellow light that moved a small white light and a small orange light above they seemed to stay in certain areas and didn't leave those spots. The orange one seemed like it dropped something from behind i saw a bright flash and a second later a big bang. The small white one vanished completely and the orange one moved straight above me while the white one continued to observe me at a distance i tried to signal it to come closer but it moved away a bit and came back and then another white light came into view and was moving around. After about an hour and half of watching them my brother came out and we heard some kind of creature roar/growl at us and it sounded huge we could hear it walking and branches snapping it moved around a lot and it roared again. It sounde! d like it was calling someone and in the distance we heard another one. After that last roar we ran inside because it was close very close and i attempted to take a picture of the mimicking light and my phone went crazy the light started turning on and off the clolor schemes on the camera started changing really fast and then the creature roared again and i got scared and ran inside turned off the lights and locked the door and it vanished the lights didn't though they continued to observe my house and my neighbors.
