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.

Today is May-10-2015 Today at 3:40 p.m. I saw a UFO. I backed out of my driveway, and there it was, directly in front of me. It was more than a mile away, but so very obvious. What I saw was very black, and very rectangular.It was huge. It was jutting out of a low cloud. (We had scattered showers today.) It was visible for 20 to 30 seconds, before the clouds enveloped it. This occurred in northern VanWert County, Ohio. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
