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.

The light didn't have a long tail like most falling stars or meteors I've seen before. It seemed like the light was a ball that just fell a bit and then disappeared quickly. The whole thing was like two seconds total that I saw. I noticed right after though, that a large airplane was flying over above where I saw the light. It just seemed strange, I wasn't aware airplanes dropped objects while in flight, but I'm also not really educated on that topic either. Not trying to waste anyone's time, just seemed strange.

I was driving to a convenience store in Prosser, Washington, taking the I-82 between Grandview and Prosser. It was overcast, raining and thundering. Noticing a bright white light on the side of Horse Heaven Hills, not really paying much attention but looking over at it from time to time. As I pulled into the Loves, I noticed it was now blinking white and red brightly, then dulling turning off and on. I got out of my car and moved out to the side of the building and watched it. I was looking South - South East, roughly bearing 175 Degrees. It was moving back and forth East to West. I watched it for a minute before going inside to get a few things. Coming back outside and still seeing it do its thing, I decided to try and get to where it was. Driving through town taking SW Bennett Ave. To Highway 22, I had lost sight of it and I could no longer see it due to maybe the top of the hill. Not having a place I felt comfortable pulling over I simply continued on home. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be both sincere, and sober-minded. PD

On Friday evening, September 12th, at 8:19 pm, I saw a very bright light that appeared as a burning object falling out of the sky. I live in Prosser, Washington, and I was facing approximately 290deg azimuth or a little North of due West. It lasted about 5 seconds and from my viewpoint it appeared to moving vertically directly towards the ground. It was big enough and slow enough that I definitely had the impression it would impact the ground and I would see an impact flash. However it either appeared to burnout before impact or traveled below my horizon which is the Cascade Range (approx 75 miles away), though it appeared closer than that to me. More like 40 to 50 miles away. If I had to describe its appearance, I would say it looked like the sparkling white/gold spark remnants of a very large fireworks shell as it drifts to the ground after exploding if you were sitting in the immediate vicinity of the launch area. The speed was similar to that type of occurrence as well. To be clear though, there was no explosion, noise or flash preceding its appearance. Just the appearance of a sparkling trail of burning material that started very high in the horizon and came straight down. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD
