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.

Driving on the road we noticed something that was hovering , bright three lights at each corner with lights in the middle and a red blinking light , as soon as I started to record the triangle craft it started to move at a very low clearance.

My fiance and I were watching a television show that started last night, March 8, 2015, at 11:00 PM. Sometime around 11:15-11:30PM, while sitting on the couch watching the show, I saw something outside the window to my right. Immediately upon looking at it I realized that I had never seen something like that in my life. It was an aircraft, perfectly triangular in shape, with all sides straight lines, with a light in each corner, flying very low and relatively slow over my town which is approximately 10 miles from NYC. The aircraft was heading east towards the city. I jumped up onto the other couch to get a better look out the window. The aircraft appeared to be flying at a very low altitude, but probably still over 1,000 feet in the air (maybe even quite a bit more) and was low/large enough for me to see the craft itself, not just the lights. I remember seeing some of the detail of the craft but immediately after seeing it I had a hard time remember the little details like what color the lights were, etc.. I believe, but am not certain, that at least one of the lights was red, and at least one of the lights was white. If I remember correctly, two of the lights were the same color and one was a different color. I called for my fiance who jumped up onto the couch with me. While she saw the aircraft and confirm that it was indeed a flying object that I witnessed, by the time she saw it it was far enough away that all that could be seen were the lights.

100% crop of the picture revealed a flying object that looks like a CCTV. I sent you pictures via email. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)
