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.

A large bright green orb with flashs of blue appeared out of no where. Making no sound at all. And shot across the sky in a downward angle at a high rate of speed toward the east and just disappeared.
