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.

Me and my 3 kids were coming back from a local fair in hemlock ny as I spotted something in the sky. I thought I was tripping (seeing things) when I asked my kids they also saw it. I gave my phone to my oldest daughter who was in the passenger seat and told her to take several photos of it. It was hovering and not moving so I thought it to be off. We got home about 5 mins after taking the photo and when I looked at the pictures and zoomed in it didn't look like anything I or anyone else had ever saw before. I went in to work the following day showing everyone.

Dansville, NY
On the night of September 14, 2014, at around 22:55, I was walking into work. I always look up at the sky. I work in Dansville, N.Y., and that night it was a clear night. As I was walking in to work I saw a flash of Light. It lasted about 2 seconds and was bright enough to light up the sky and to be able to see detail of the hills like it was day time. I checked to see if there was any Storms in the area for lightning but, the closest lightning strikes was over 1,100 miles away. I also listen to see if I could hear the fire whistle because of the brightness of the light I thought that maybe there might have been an accident or maybe something exploded like a transformer. Something logical to explain the flash but, there was no noise and the fire department was not deployed. So I have no idea what the flash was. It was strange.

We saw a large fireball in the sky below a ceiling of clouds. We watched it move at a steady speed in a straight path across the sky,
