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.

Partly Sunny. Junction Rt 10 and Ridgedale Ave. Near Novartis Building. Driving West On Rt 10 East Hanover. Saw a triangle to my right heading South very low and slow. Elevation 500 Ft. Speed 100 Mph. Craft Size 150 Ft each side. Shape was perfect triangle. I opened my drivers window, stuck my head out and looked up at the triangle as I was sitting at a light waiting. Deep Black colored on the bottom. No indication of landing gear seams or bomb door seams. In the center of the triangle was a round, recessed area with a White light. About 4 feet around and 4 feet deep. Brightness in the recessed area was bright but not excessively. Nothing remarkable was noted in the recessed area. There were no "marking" on the triangle and no sounds. I could not confirm any air turbulence emanating from the back center of the triangle. After passing over low and leaving my sight. I went thru the light and continued Westward. I saw the triangle from the back. The triangle not far from the Novartis Building probably less then 1000 Ft from the building. Almost dangerously close ! After passing thru the light, I saw the triangle one more time, banking at about a 20 degree angle and towards the West. By this time it was maybe slightly higher and about a half mile away. I did not get a long view of the top of the triangle as I was now driving in traffic. The top of the triangle was a dull grey, with slightly raised area towards the center. No cockpit or windows were seen on the top. There was no marking or lights on the top.

As I was driving my girlfriend home I happened to see a circular object hovering in the sky about 500 ft in the air. It was bright with a blue tint . As I tried to tell more people to look at it , it vanished. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) 11:40 pm Sent from my iPhone ((END ADDENDUM)) We have changed the time, since we suspect it was an evening sighting. PD
