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.

I was riding horses with my partner and as the sun was about 30 minutes from setting the horses stop, and stare to the east. My partner noticed the object first and pointed it out to me. All the other animals on the property were also watching (8 horses 3 dogs and 2 goats). I gave my horse a gesture to move but she wasn't going to, and I wasn't really worried about the horse. As soon as I see it there is no doubt in my mind it's a UFO. It was about 5 miles away, and didn't fly quite as high as planes in the area normally do. It was black in color, had a sphere on top with a diameter of about 20 feet, and a spike pointing downward extending about 40-50 feet with 3 rings that seemed to be floating around the spike. I reached for my phone to take a picture while my partner was calling a friend in the area to see if he could see it. After I opened my camera app on my phone and look bake at the object; it was gone. Since the incident I've been searching the internet unsuccessfully for the same object. So this is my last attempt to find out if anyone else has ever seen this. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Being was able to stand with 1 leg inside the bed and 1 outside the bed. It had no clothing. I looked at face 1st and it was looking at my wife. It had bumps where ears would be, no hair anywhere, it had a bump and ridges in the crotch area. I was just about to go into a paralyzed state and I had the lights on in the room. I have had instances for 44 years. I was going to fight it but it grabbed my upper left arm then vanished. The head was same size as ours and eyes were black. It had no lips. It was powdery bluish gray in color. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD
