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.

5/14/2014 12:15pm Observed a very high gliding, black raptor type craft, pointed front with angled wings and long body and somewhat flat end like an eagle’s tail. Craft then folded wings to a shape somewhat of a Star Wars tie-fighter. Back end looked like a W but middle of W smaller, longer outside wings of W formed to a < in front. (Best description I can write as can’t draw on form.) Craft then looked like it was launched off a catapult and speed seemed to increase until it was out of site. When craft accelerated, no sound was heard. Craft was going North. Spirit Lake, ID
