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 taking out the trash. I looked up and saw a decently close, and pretty big object in the sky, freezing and telling my husband to look. We both stopped astonished. It was like a glowing orb, kind of a bluish star color. It almost floated through the sky as if it was floating through water with jellyfish type movements. With a shape that seemed to change but also almost move like stingray wings would. It wasn't an exact shape though. Started from north west, headed south east, in Sarasota Florida from the intersection of Fruitville and Lockwood towards Fruitville and Beneva, getting smaller and further back from view site pretty quickly. We've never seen something like this I've been looking everywhere for answers and I found nothing close to it!
