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.

Seen from back yard: bright and swiftly moving object caught eye. Comet like in appearance. White light tip with gold red tail flair. Close altitude proximity and fast...the moving brightness is what caught eye. Too fast to take picture...should have been seen from highways 23 and 118...traveling from Moorpark towards Simi Valley. ((ADDENDUM SUBMITTED BY MR. TED MOLCZAN, SATELLITE ANALYST)) Happy New Year, Peter!

At approximately 8:00 pm, on Oct. 10th, 2015, my boyfriend and I were looking up at the night sky in Moorpark, Ca. We observed the stars and the usual flight patterns of airplanes and other small aircraft. Suddenly a v-shaped (or boomerang shaped object) appeared above us, slightly north, heading east in the sky, then quickly disappeared. It seemed very large, dimly lit, and almost transparent with 4-5 lights on each side. It appeared ghostly, as it did not make a sound, while gliding at a moderate speed. I witnessed this for 3 seconds, and my boyfriend saw this for 2 seconds. Neither of us has witnessed anything like this before.
