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.

While driving home I noticed two bright stars in a completely black sky, no other visible stars present so they caught my attention. At each red light I noticed they were not moving, the “star” to the right was noticeably larger and had almost an aura of reds and greens coming from it. I kept telling myself it must be an airplane but then I saw an airplane fly across the sky and the scale of it was incredibly different. The plane was much smaller than either star and clearly moving whereas the stars were not. Again I saw no other stars in the sky, something about their distance to one other was very symmetrical as well. Jupiter and Venus

Witness was driving down the road, heading north towards his home. The stretch of road was long and went straight for a few miles. He noticed blinking lights in the sky which he thought at first to be a light pole but it was actually moving slowly ahead of him. The object kept an exact path with the road and had two lights in the middle of it that blinked simultaneously. The lights were a very bright white. Witness knew that this was not an airplane since airplanes lights just do not blink that way. The object would go pitch black, then light up again in intervals of about 4-5 seconds. He continued to follow it down the road, but all of a sudden it flew way ahead of him. Case under investigation but this much has also been noted: UFO kept pace with or hovered in front of driver’s car for a time, while appearing 30 degrees above horizon. It was described as being triangular, from 30-100 feet in size (not sure what dimension this refers to), flashed sequentia! lly, emitted no noise, was under 500 feet in altitude, and from 500-plus feet to a mile distant (not a CEI). At one point it was over power lines. There were two witnesses and sighting duration was five minutes. [Parkland is 250 SE of our nodes at Pinellas Park and Largo] (MUFON CMS, 97770)

A small single red colored light moved accross the sky from almost due north to due south. It was a solid light, never flashed or changed intensity. It looked to be 30k to 50k feet up and made absolutely no sound. Could have been a go fast jet with after burner, but it was a very silent night I would have heard something. Initially thought it was a meteor, but it never stopped burning. It just kept going till I lost site. No contrail either so altitude could have been much lower. Pretty cool stuff. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It was an overcast, hazy evening on Saturday, June 14, 2014, at 10:41 PM. The full moon was barely visible, no stars either. I was driving west towards the Everglades in Parkland, Florida. I looked up and there was a cluster of bright white lights, perhaps a hundred. They were moving very slowly, in unison from north to south. I stared at them for two to three minutes, wondering what it could possibly be. As I was making my turn they started to gradually disappear.
