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.

At 11-38 I stepped outside to record the strange multicolored fog over the town. There was no smell of smoke. After zooming in at 2:26 of the video I catch of flash of light it reappeared in two or three close locations. When I slowed the film the flashes of light seem to be moving in a certain direction almost like something was spinning with the light. After ascending and disappearing quickly the fog began to lift. A few minutes later I could hear planes roaring they came from every direction in a grid like pattern over town. Maybe 4-6 planes. There was no wind blowing during this time and the air felt like it at had a static charge.

While traveling southbound on I-59 near Ashville, Alabama, an odd light, which strobed at random, intermittent, intervals, was identified. It moved through the sky at a varied pace, much like a helicopter could do, however the light was slowly brightened and dimmed unlike a conventional aircraft, which flashes or blinks at timed intervals. Elevation seemed to high to be a drone and the light was too bright.
