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 walking with my wife and dog around the lake by our house. I said to my wife “wait I want to get a photo of the sun and reflection on the lake. I took a photo. I looked at the photo and noticed a round object in the photo Bo looked up to the sky and nothing was there. I took another photo and the object again was in the photo. I looked up again in the sky and could see nothing. Took another photo and again the circular object was in the photo. Possible lens flare.

On July 4, 2020, I had a sighting that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I was out in the backyard with my mom watching some fireworks when I saw two bright, red lights hovering in the sky. After several moments, it was apparent this wasn’t a firework. My first thought is that it might have been a drone (I’m an FAA Certified Part 107 drone pilot), but I’ve never seen a drone with lights like that. Attached is a picture and a video I shot from my backyard. This was taken in Goodyear, Arizona, and it appears to be within Goodyear airspace, which is restricted due to the nearby Air Force base (F-16 and F-35 training base) and several airports including the Goodyear Airport. It was not moving at all, though the video was shaky because I was trying to get closer and the camera was unstable. When I saw it, it was hovering there steadily. After about a minute of doing so, the lights shut off like someone flipped a switch. It didn't turn direction, it didn't descend or ascend, the lights just went out. My mom saw it on a separate occasion, about 10 minutes earlier that same night. Her experience was different than mine. She saw it hovering and not moving at all. Then it abruptly moved to the right a little bit, the lights turned blue, and it disappeared.

We saw a very strange object with two lights on each far in in the sky last night that flew in a circular pattern for about 20-30 minutes and the object would be horizontal one minute then vertical the next as the two lights would stay in perfect sync on each end and the two lights would get closer together at times and then go apart really really far and appear as if the object was growing to a size that was 4 times the size of a normal aircraft. It was also loud like an aircraft, but we couldn't see any body of the object or other lights besides the two lights on each end.
