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.

During the absence, two planes had crossed in the sky and a bright flash of light like an explosion had appeared with flaming debris falling from that spot but the planes kept moving in their own directions without pause. My daughter arrives home with her boyfriend and I explained to them what I saw. They started to watch the sky with me and saw that it had moved North West of us. They were witness to the last two flashes in the other location. This was all taking place in a forty-five minute span.

I saw a line of lights going across the sky in single file heading in the same direction. once they got to a certain spot they would disappear and more would come from behind. There was no sound and it was hard to tell how high they were but I would guess a few thousand feet off the ground. There were no clouds in the sky so I don't know why the lights would disappear and they got to a certain point in the sky. I'm just wondering if anyone else in the area seeing the same thing.

I stood there examining the craft for several seconds. Then realizing what I saw was a ufo, I tried to bring it to another buddy's attention, but by the time they looked, it was almost out of sight.
