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.

I was driving home on a quiet, curvy road that had some tree cover. A bright, orange circle up in the sky caught my attention. It faded away quickly, then as I kept going I saw maybe 4 more orange circles like it, all in a horizontal line, each one faded out in progression, maybe I saw each for 1-2 seconds. Very strange never seen anything like it. When I got home I told my boyfriend, he said that he heard a loud noise, like a jet engine at the same time. I am a 33 year old woman.

I was watching TV and I happened to look outside of my living room window. When I did a bright coral blue light streaked across the sky, but it was solid in the middle, and emitting light that reflected off of the clouds. It lasted only a few seconds and I almost didn't believe it happened because it was so quick. There was a cloud cover so it had so be relatively close to earth to be able to break the clouds. And right before it broke the clouds, I could see the light through them. The object almost looked like a square, and it had no trail. I live in a rural area, so it disappeared behind a hill before I could take a picture. I live in Vermont USA, Orange County.
