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.

. Driving in a car saw a diamond shape light In the sky while on four-lane. It seemed the sun was reflecting off of it. You could tell it was metal and really low. It then zipped off within a second. It seemed to just zoom away in the opposite direction. Faster than you could even realized it was leaving. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
