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.

It's very hard to parse out an objective description of this event from what I perceived to be happening. As I was driving west on interstate 70 approaching Limon, CO, my attention was drawn suddenly to what I thought was a large object falling at a very high speed. It seems silly, but my first thought was that a meteor was plummeting toward the earth. From my perspective, it seemed to be moving from east to west, from behind or above me to my fore. Due to the speed with which the object traveled, I thought it must be near the ground; I thought it was going to hit the ground very near me, and I instinctively prepared to brake or swerve. The logical part of my mind thought of an airplane crashing, but the color was strange, a bright yellowish-green, and the light was round and too large for the height I perceived. A yellow-green meteor is the best way I can describe its appearance, but there was no visible trail or streak. When it seemed to be a couple of seconds from impacting, the light just disappeared. There was no dimming, no alteration, it just turned off like someone had flipped a switch. I hope y'all have an explanation, because I'm really freaked out right now.

My family and I were driving off of the highway for gas, when I thought I would take a picture of the area. Right before I took the picture, I was only aware of seeing the sun in the sky, but when I checked the photo there was this perfectly round greenish orb southeast of the sun. This was taken through the back window of the car using the camera on my Samsung S4 phone. There was no flash used. I know it wasn't the moon because it was on May 13th a few days after the full moon which still would have been almost on the opposite side of the sun. Could possibly be a reflection off of an aircraft at just the right moment, but I am not sure. I will send the picture. Lens flare. PD
