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.

So me and my buddy were swimming in a pool when all of a sudden, we look up and we see a spotlight. This spotlight looks like a cone coming down from the sky, and then there's a bunch of orange haze around this one black cloud with, like flickering lights on it, and we are like, huh? So we keep staring at it for about minute and a 1/2.

At approximately 1:30 am on the morning of April 1st, 2019, ((i know the timing is terrible because of the date but i have never been more frightened in my life and this is NOT a joke)) i witnessed what i thought was a meteorite falling in the sky. i am laying in my bed and i saw the event occurring out of my open window. i turned to watch the meteorite and almost vomited when i realised it had FROZEN IN MIDAIR. i watched it float for around a full minute, before it silently separated into several large pieces. i am unsure if these were all seperate aircraft or not but.. they all just floated there for another half a minute. in the time it took for my blood to run cold and my mouth to go dry, they LIT UP in the matter of a second, all different colors that actually illuminated my bedroom, and then silently disappeared into nothingness. i am a firm believer in aliens, and had, until now, never experienced anything like this.

A Large Bright Blue Fireball was seen from the Garden State Parkway mile marker 80, moving at an extremely fast rate falling to the ground and at a distance that was hard to judge. Fireball was close to the size of the moon on an average night.

Saw 3 dots of light in the sky and when we drove past it, it was actually a triangular shaped object. The object was not moving horizontally, rather it appeared to be descending more in a vertical direction. The lights on the side were white and the one in the middle was an alternating red and orange light.
