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.

Rifle, CO

I have worked for the Colorado Department of Corrections for 18 years. While waiting for my daughters school bus on the afternoon of October 15 I was taking pictures of the clouds in front of the sun. I had accidentally hit slow motion video record on my phone. I was unaware of the objects until I watch the video a day later. In the video there are tiny bright lights the travel across the screen at an ultra high speed. In the video you will see a reflection of the sun that is blue green in color with a purple colored shadow. That is obvious. The first light comes from the sun's approximate 4:00 position and continues away from the sun at the 10:00 position. The second leaves the sun at the 12:00 at the same time the first leaves the sun. The third is at the sun's 7:00 a few frames later. When you look at the speed at which these things are moving keep in mind it is in slo-mo at 240 fps. I don't think you could see these with the naked eye.
