Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center. Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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 star gazing when I saw a strange moving light in the lower part of the horizon South-Southeast towards Randolph-Atwater. At first I thought it was a plane but it was moving randomly in the same region of the sky. It alternated between white, red, and maybe blueish lights. I next thought it was a law enforcement helicopter doing IR sweeps but the movements were too eratic and always in the same area of the sky. From my perspective it moved easily an 1"-1.5" in any direction at any given time.
