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 moving away from me. Looked like shiny airplane without wings or tail. No windows visible.

I witnessed what I thought at first was a star in the sky. But then I realized it was not blinking so it could not be a star and didn’t have red and blue lights so it couldn’t have been an airplane. It was one singular circle in the sky. It was bizarrely low in the sky. It was the shape of a perfect circle and was the same color as a star but it was massive in size relative to the stars. It was maybe 4x the size of a star or larger. It didn’t appear to be a planet because there was no reddish tint and it was too low in the sky. It was perfectly still and I unfortunately lost sight of it because I was in the backseat of a car and we passed by some tall buildings. When the view reappeared the object had seemingly disappeared into thin air. Unfortunately, I was the only witness.

I was looking just to the south of the Northern Cross and saw a distinctive, triangular shaped light brightly flash just once. It illuminated long enough to realize the direction of travel as south/southwest. Made no sound. Did not exhibit the typical red/green/clear strobing lights of typical aircraft. This is the second time this summer I've seen strange lights in this same area of the night sky. In all the years I've been "looking up", I've seen satellites, 2 comets, run of the mill aircraft, blimps, whatever, but never anything like this.

Saw a red oval light in the sky over my house at 10:52 pm on 10/6/16, it looked like it was going to collid with a plane, in an instant moved diagonally away from the plane with such speed it couldn't be a helicopter then moved up and down and as the plane was passing look like it was going to chase the plane then stopped and hovered for 5 secs and kind of zig zagged away with tremendous speed.
