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 was getting on the parkway in Barnegat and could see 2 fixed things in the sky with bands of light. The lights were round. There were 4-6 lights going straight across. I tried to take a picture but they suddenly blinked out of vision. I called my husband to tell him what I saw, when suddenly one was just outside my driver's window not further up than the treetops. It was a very large disk shape with bright lights on either side at the center I could see a very large window. The window looked to be multiple stories high and I could see beings moving around in the window. It lasted for at least 30 seconds. I was traveling at 75 mph and it seemed to be keeping pace with me because it stayed in the same view for me. It wasn't like I was driving away from it. It vanished suddenly. There was no sound.

Looking out back window saw something yellow. Could not make out what it was so went and got my camera. Even with the camera could not see what it was until I turned on IR. Then saw white and yellow shimmering object. Yellow hallo surrounding it. When I shut off IR could not see it then I put on video IR

Saw 3 orange fireball looking flying objects in the shape of a perfect pyramid in the night sky. They stayed perfectly still and suddenly all aligned perfectly spaced out and in a perfect line. Then one at a time they disappeared very rapidly.
