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 craft was round in the western sky. It had an orange shaped crescent on the right side of the object. The crescent went from bright to dim, broke into two parts, moved away from the main craft, then moved back to the main craft, went back to a single crescent, and got brighter again. May be the moon partially obscured by clouds. [NUFORC annotation: Moon - Possible]

I was driving home down Central and I say lights above the donut shop, and at first I just assumed it was a lower flying air craft, but then I noticed it wasn't moving. I thought i was crazy at first so I pulled into the parking lot real quickly and get out of my car to see if I can see it better but it disappeared. The appearance was a thinner looking triangular craft dark in color, there were lights on one side of the craft but you could still see the silhouette of the triangle. I looked around in the air to see if there were other air craft it could have been but the closest one was too far a distance to how quick I turned in to park and look.

A young woman, outside for a smoke, noted an approaching red light, southward bound. Her mother was summoned and both watched as a large, flat black triangle passed overhead. The object had a large central red light and a smaller red light near the leading vertex. Four white lights were spaced unevenly along each of the leading edges. The red lights pulsated slightly, while the white ones strobed irregularly at varying intensities. What looked like smoke was emitted from the rear. The UFO seemed to be 15,000 to 20,000 feet high, travelled linearly, and sometimes hovered. Moving on an ascending southwest track, it was lost behind trees. The main witness works as a flight attendant and is also a nursing student. 15 mins (MUFON Case 60475)
