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.

I was standing on my side porch having a smoke. On that side of my house there's nothing blocking my line of sight to the sky. At night I'm able to see a constalation or two along with a few satalights, plus Mars & Venus. It was the first Friday of October at about 7:30pm. In the distance I can hear the sound of the football game enouncer coming from the game at the Round Lake Senior highschool, where I graduated from. Just south of my house at the end of my block there's a long tree line In the distance. I saw an orange lighted object emerge from the tree line. It was followed by 2 more orange lighted objects. I noticed that they were flying in a stagurd formation. One after another cleared the tree line, first a group of 3 then 2 more followed in stagurd formation emerging from the tree line. They looked like the same shape of a helicopter except there was no type of rotor blades nor no sound. As they came closer I still heard no sound emitting from the 5 objects in the sky. They were flying about 50 feet above when they flew over my house. Part of me wanted to run in my house to grab my cellphone to capture this Amazing sight. But in that moment I was in so much shock and awe of what I was witnessing that I couldn't move. Even after they left I was still standing on my porch for a bit trying to process what I just saw. Till this day I kick myself for not having my phone on me. Now every time I am on my side porch weather it is day time or night time I keep my eyes on the sky.
