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.

A thick circular strange black cloud formed from the center out. Orbs and other came out of the cloud. I could feel an energy and saw lights in the cloud. I have seen orbs and other strange cloaking since. I have many pictures and videos.

Hermiston, OR
At 4:39 am, I was walking around the paved trail in Riverfront Park on 23rd St in Hermiston, Oregon. It was still mostly dark but dawn was coloring the eastern horizon. I was rounding the extreme north side of the park trail, and happened to look up between the trees which framed the sky. My view into the sky at this point is facing west, northwest. The weather was clear, mid fifties and almost still wind. I saw a long lighted cigar shape floating silently from the west moving toward the east, northeast. It was completely silent. I could hear traffic from the freeways that the craft would have passed directly over. The long side of the cigar shape had lights running the length. These appeared to be square shaped, and for a moment I thought they may be windows. As it passed by, I noted that the lights changed, some brightness running up or down the length. I could not see any fixed interval. The lights were all white. I saw no bulges or projections either top or bottom of the lights. There was a darkish metal greyish silver cast to the edges of the cigar. I was hoping that as it passed by toward the increasing brightness of the dawn, that jt would silouette the shape. But as it passed toward the east, the leading end of the cigar angled away from me and the lights were no longer visible. The end view as it floated away was of something greyish matte metal color about the size of the end of a round broom handle. The object appeared to be floating. The object had no visible means of propulsion. The object left no trail and there was no distortion visible around it. No effects were visible below on the ground it passed over.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) On July 14th, 2017, at 10:15 pm, I was looking out my bedroom window, when I noticed a large bright red light in the shape of a sphere, hovering over the tree line behind my home. I live in the country, so I would guess it was maybe 3 to 4 city blocks away. It just stayed in the same spot. I watched it for about 30 seconds, before it began to slowly lower straight down. I could still see the light through the tree branches. It stopped for a few seconds, and then slowly rose back up. When it reached to top of the tree line, it began to travel in a straight line in a northwest direction for about 45 seconds, before it was no longer in my view from my window. Total sighting was less than 2 minute. I was to afraid to go outside and follow the direction it was traveling. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite serious-minded and credible. We urged her to submit a more thorough report, to supplement her original, which she did. PD

Light seen flying north towards Washington. As the light started to dim, it shot to the left and vanished. When I first noticed it was moving pretty fast but when it shot to the left it happened in a second. I'm surprised I saw it at the end. Looked like a laser. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
