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.

One stationary bright white light in the sky, took off northwest at an extremely rapid rate (much too fast to be a commercial flight) north west. The light had a long bright white trail and then the light and the trail disappeared from the sky at the exact same time

Sitting around a backyard campfire, we saw a bright light appear to be lower than an airplane flight path and had a much brighter/white glow. It was moving in a slow, steady straight path then all of a sudden traveled further out into space until the object disappeared into the dark night. All 5 of us saw it happen. At the same time we saw an airplane in the sky and used it to compare the difference between the airplane and the unidentifiable white ball of light.

Not sure..Witnessed 4 jet fighters in the sky being very very loud. Event lasted around 45 mins. With 2 fighters circling for a half hour. This is very unusual and out of the norm. One of the fights did accelerate and appear the skip across the sky. Can't say for sure it was a ufo but this is not normal for the area. Happened above my home in heavily populated area.

Object hovered over local fireworks show changing color and moving from a stationary position to moving up and down in a liniar path to a 90 degree path. Video from second witness indicates a star-sized object in the night sky, which appears to be changing colors, and moving. We do not know what the object is. PD
