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.

I woke up at 1:33 am and went out on my front porch to have a smoke. I looked out in front of me up in the sky. In the distance was a red orange glow it came toward me not fast but like it was floating toward me about 200 ft in the sky or more! It continued to come toward me. The glow took shape of a C. It stopped dead in the sky took a right 90 turn then continued a little bit and stopped again.the went right a little more then went back left the stopped and went back the way it come. I would of woke my partner but I thought it might disappear. It was truly breath taking! I only told couple people because I didn't want them to think I'm carzy!

Woke up walk outside at 1:35 am to have a cig.out of the north this red orange glow came floating years me. I thought to myself OK! It came within approximately 3 football fields away and stop. Turned sideways and that's when I saw the shape C.It continued slowly floating to the right stopped turned forward again and just sat there a sec. Then moved to the right again and stopped turned around and went back through same motion to the point it first stopped. Then gently flew back north out of sight. There was no sound during the whole time. It lasted just about 60 seconds. I ask myself why did they come show me this???

Heard the sound first of a steady decent... Noise was so close I thought whatever it was would land on our tent. When I looked up I saw a circular object flying very low and fast with red, white and blue flashing lights.
