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 about 1 in the afternoon going through Taco Bell looking up over Dodge dealership and seeing 7 tiny diamond shaped objects at first I thought that they were Birds but every time they would move they would reflect a bright shiny silver color there was two that were remaining still the rest of them are moving and very weird patterns like triangles squares in a very uniform pattern and when I told the passenger to take a picture all of a sudden they had disappeared even the car in front of us was pointing and you can tell they were seeing what we were seeing
