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.

It was just below the clouds around 10000 feet. It was at a high rate of speed with no noise. I checked air traffic and plans or helicopters were in the area. It was too low to be a satellite. The light was bright and steady. No other lights were associated with it.

Objects appeared to be flying low and at an unnatural rate of speed. They made no sound and glowed brighter as they flew over. One object from the rear of the formation on the right side of the right formation my left rotated with the lead object. When the object rotated it got brighter and the lead object that rotated to the rear of the formation dimmed down. I can not determine exact size or shape of crafts. I can say that the objects appeared to fly low because of their size. Size compared to that of a vehicle. Best I can explain it was like watching a boat approaching the shore line being level with your eyes and then flying overhead then disappearing from field of view. We see planes flying south west from Nashville all the time at about causing altitude so they should have seen these objects on radar.

I witnessed an oval shaped craft, with no sound, emitting a red orange trail from one end. While I was keeping my eyes on it, I watched it completely vanish.

The object was headed north when it took a sharp turn and headed east and went over my vehicle. As it passed over, I could see underneath the object, and it appeared to be rectangular in shape and black underneath. The object was either very large or very close, it made no sounds at all. Witness does not indicate a date of the sighting, so we have assigned an arbitrary date temporarily. She provides minimal contact information. PD

We observed an odd set of pure white blinking (simultaneous) lights of an unknown craft that would SPEED up & slow down erratically then stop at which time a large fireball fell slowly from it. We noticed the craft circle around and head back the way it came SW as we watched the fireball until it was below tree line out of view. THE craft (lights) continued to circle the area for another few minutes rising & falling in altitude impossible for any aircraft I've seen then sped off NW. The lights would also alternate from horizontal to vertical at times.
