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.

Tonight I witnessed a ufo being chased by a military helicopter at approximately 10:10 EST, near Saratoga Springs, NY. Ufo was traveling NW at high speeds. Daughter witnessed a black shadow like object that was tailing behind and she described it as shaped long and oval like. I did not see this as I went in my house to bring my dogs back inside.

January 31, 2019. On the morning of Wednesday January 30, 2019, my wife and I were cleaning up snow from the previous evening snow storm. I believe it was approximately 11:20 am. The sky was clear and a brilliant blue which my wife was admiring and started taking pictures of with her iPhone 7. Since it was so bright outside she went into the garage were it was darker to look at the picture she had just taken. She noticed the object in the photo which she hadn’t seen in the sky when she took the picture, immediately she went back outside to see if it was still there which it wasn’t. The picture was taken facing northeast .

Bright light that dims and brighten. Disappears when passing by aircraft fly by then reappears after plane passes. Seems to dance slowly from side to side.

I was driving to work on I-87 South bound, between exits 14 and 13, and all of a sudden, I saw an object, flying from the northeast toward the south. I thought at first it was a plane crashing because of the size. It was massive. The size was approximately 30 yards across and it was in the shape of a mushroom/whale tail, almost triangular, but not. The color was bright neon green and there was a darker neon green light around the perimeter of the object and then a lighter neon green light on the inner part. This object just appeared in the sky and lit up and then disappeared again. It was traveling so fast, similar to shooting star speed. And the length of time I saw it was approximately 3 seconds. It was also about 1/4 mile in the air, as thought it seemed. It was low, like a plane would be if it's in mid-landing.

Was driving, saw a cube floating in the air. Went to take a video and it was gone. Bronze in color. About 400-700 feet above the ground.

After traveling for approximately one minute in a continuous motion and direction, the craft seemed to stop and hover for several minutes. The craft continues to move in short jagged and also circular motions, staying within a certain space and performing maneuvers at a slow rate, but unlike any craft I have ever seen. At first I thought it was a helicopter, but then realized it was far too high in the sky and would not stay in such a tight flight pattern for as long as it has. To my knowledge, I have never seen a UFO, but believe this to be my first sighting.
