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 very very bright Venus like object in the northern sky. It was a beautiful and warm night and the sky was clear and we were looking at the big dipper and I was showing my wife and friends on one of my star apps where the north star was located As we all looked at the north star suddenly a very bright star like light appeared. It was stationary for approximately one minute and then disappeared. Not a plane! not a planet or star!

I was outside walking my dog in front of my house at about 9:30 at night. It was a very clear night. I was facing East looking up at the stars. All of a sudden it got eerily quiet. I notice that coming from the South heading North, going about 10 mph, is a dark ship about 200 yards above the ground and about 100 yards in front of me and my dog. There was no sound. No lights. It looked like there was a cloaking aspect to the ship... like it had the nighttime sky on the underside of the ship. But I could see the contours of the ship while it continued a perfectly steady speed due North. It had no wings. From my POV, it was a cigar shape about 200 yards long and about 30-40 yards tall. No plane-like characteristics that I could see. It was hovering, no sound, going very very slow. I had a very bad feeling the whole time watching it. I watched it move from the South traveling North for about 20 seconds till it was out of my sight line due to trees and surroundi! ng homes blocking my view. I then immediately went inside the house and got my boyfriend, and we came outside to look for it but it was gone.

I was driving west on route 18 in Medina. Waffle House was on my left when I saw a medium sized cylindrical object rotating in the air. Each flat side of the cylinder appeared to have a bright white light. The object was moving from south to north across the sky and it moved as if it were a meteor.
