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.

Location details: Driver seat of my car facing south, stop at the intersection of I-101 and Lawrence Blvd in Sunnyvale, CA. Observation Details: While stopped at the intersection a split second vertical streak of light in the distant horizon caught my eye. The light resembled a falling star. It started above the horizon and ended at about the horizon. The thin light was constant in shape and red/orange in color. The odd thing was the path of the light. As the light traveled down vertically, it made a 90 degree turn to the west followed immediately by another 90 degree turn down (toward the ground) then disappeared. The whole event lasted a split second but the path was clearly visible. Background of observer: Kansas native with aviation manufacturing background. Commercial Multi-Engine Instrument Pilot.
