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 driving and saw this sort of cigar shaped black ufo. It was darkest in the center, where it kind of looked pushed in. A triangular "fin" sticking out, but no sharp edges. Then it literally "pulled apart"... almost like thick cheese or oily - kind of slick looking. I was keeping my eye on it, waiting to see it past the tree, but it was gone. Around 2 -3 hours later, I went back to the location and could not see it at all. Part of me was thinking - was it like some kind of large birthday party balloon? (I really want it to be that - I don't know why. I want it to be a garbage bag, kite, or birthday party balloon). But it was gone. So the color was between black (in the middle of the "cigar") and gray. It didn't change from those colors, but the shape changed. Strangely, when I was filling out this report, I discovered I felt / had time / memory loss. I completely... I had a very hard time explaining to myself what I was even doing in that area. I was in a remote part of a canyon prior. I had never gotten that lost before - and strangely felt "ok" with it. Normally I am not ok not knowing where I am. My phone was also completely out of battery / power. Prior ... maybe 20 or 10 minutes before seeing the craft, the gps went nuts. I also remember now hitting a garbage can. I have seen Aiten also have extreme issues with gps in that same area - but the craft was seen later miles away. There's a sort of "hazy" or "dreamy" feeling starting the time I went into the canyon. Uhhhh... like I wasn't quite myself. Like I was ok with things I'd normally not be ok with.

In the hills of east Morgan Hill, CA, My coworker and I were hanging outside of the wedding we were photographing. My coworker saw a shooting star in the Southern skies. I did not see the shooting star. A minute or two later, a bright light came flying across the sky from the south heading north. It was moving very quickly and it was zig-zagging. Once the light passed us overhead, it slowed very rapidly almost to a stop. It continued to move to the north, but much slower and began to flash a red light intermittently, mimicking a commercial plane. Within a minute, it was over the horizon and out of view.

It was a normal, fairly warm night. My mother had just gone to bed and i was outside in my front yard, listening to some music coming from my room, waiting for some of my friends to arrive. I was looking up at the stars as i tend to do to clear my head, making up constellations and watching for "shooting stars", when all of a sudden i saw what appeared to be a star moving! There was no trail of light, there were no flashing lights like there are on planes, it just looked like a star got bored and went for a walk across the sky! It was going faster than any normal cargo plane I've seen at night, but slow enough for my eyes to easily keep up with it. It was flying in a straight line, from left to right, no arc at all. I continued to watch it until it suddenly vanished. It didn't speed up or flash away, it just disappeared like a magic trick. I even looked around to see if i could find any other planes in the sky, and when i did, the obvious plane was moving considerably slower than the object and you could see the flashing lights clearly. I know it was not a plane, and i know it was not a "shooting star". I honestly have no idea what exactly I was looking at, but I do believe it was a UFO.

Object floating in sky immediately goes warp speed and stops! ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of Venus, we suspect. PD))
