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.

It was a bright beam, low flying and flew steadily across the sky for about 2-3 mins.

Pulled in to driveway and both of my children said Dad those stars are moving. Star sized lights in sky, not as bright as north star, typical brightness of ISS moving overhead. Single file, one after the other, they appeared from the Northeast and moved across the in a South West direction. After the first half of the objects almost all the same distance apart, two of the objects moved across the sky in the same why but this time very close to one another, almost in tandem. These two appeared more orange in color than the others. One or two others appeared moving slower and traveling in a different direction. They continued moving across the sky, crossing by orians belt. After 17-23 moved across the sky over 5-7 minutes they stopped.

UFO sighting Plymouth, MN, at approximately 12:00 pm on 10/17/17. At approximately 12:00pm, my mother and I were driving to have lunch at Rock Elm Creek in Plymouth, MN, out on their patio. I was driving, my mother was in the passenger seat and my dog was in the back seat of my Prius. It was a beautiful day; clear skies and mid-60s. I was driving east on Hwy 55 when all of sudden my attention was drawn to the sky to an unidentified flying object heading east. I could not take my eyes off of it and kept asking my mom if she could see it. I kept repeating that it has to be a UFO. It was not very obvious in the sky. It appeared disc to round shaped and appeared to be moving very fast eastward. Every few seconds I could see the right side of the craft like it was maybe tilting some and could appreciate a metallic/silver color – it wasn’t consistent. My mother finally saw the object before I had to turn and agreed it was unusual and remarked it must’ve been a drone. I was quite astonished by it and if it was a drone I’m impressed how quickly they move (almost like gliding across the sky). I’d never seen anything like it. Just thought I should report it in case anybody else makes a similar report. This is a quick report as I am busy today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

I went to let the dogs out and noticed a glowing orange light flying over the trees. I called my husband and we watched it until it went to the other side of the horizon. We've never seen anything like it. Not a plane, helicopter or drone. Saw videos on You Tube that looked exactly like it. It fly effortlessly with sound.
