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.

My husband and I walked out of the house and saw an illuminated round object flying across the ski. It was round and orangey red glow. We watched it fly or glide across the ski till we couldn't see it anymore. I was frightened and wanted to leave quick. Wondering what we saw but I could say a ufo because I'm not sure what it was. Don't want to see that again!!!!!!!!
