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.

We were sitting in the back yard by the fire pit talking. It was a clear night sky. After about an hour, I happened to look up and saw a craft. It had lights, but they weren't flashing. It moved at relatively slow pace. Well this was going on, a friend came out of the house from using the bathroom. I pointing to him the craft. I asked if he noticed any lights blinking or flashing. He didn't. Then, the craft just disappeared. Vanished. About 2 minutes later and airplane with red flashing lights flew by.

I woke up really early in the morning and looked out of my window and saw what I thought was a star and I was staring at it when suddenly just zoomed off.

I was sitting in my living room and I looked out my window and saw a cross-looking UFO with rainbow lights and the craft itself was black and small at least from my distance. I saw it again a block away and have only seen it at night. I believe that the possible aliens that are inside that thing know who I am because about four months ago I took a vacation to Florida and saw it again in the air at night each sighting looked the same. And just 3 or 4 weeks ago I was sitting in my chair outside at dawn and when it turned dark I saw something moving in the sky and it looked exactly like a star and wasn’t a plane which is what I thought it was at first but this one had the same lights as a star and was identical to a star but didn’t have rainbow lights. The first UFO that I had mentioned might have been a drone but I don’t think so since it followed me to Florida and also to a block away from my house. I just looked at the pic/vid of mine that I remember catching it on camera in and right where it was was nothing it was like the aliens erased themselves from the photo/pic I think the aliens know me.

Saw an incredibly bright light moving fast and all over the place with a helicopter following its every move. Sitting near Watch Hill this thing started coming toward us, with the heli following, and then completely darted into the other direction faster than any craft I've seen. Clearly the helicopter was following it. They were not search helicopters, and only one was a familiar looking light/aircraft. Clearly officials noticed it too. I sure doubt we'll every hear anything about it, but it was bizarre as can be.
