The report, as filed
To make things short. That plasma ship pulsed one time 4 feet above my head. I was alone but there was people about 50 yards from me doing their own things. Then all of a sudden it seemed like a spotlight was on me from above out of nowhere. I quickly look up and about four feet right above my head there was a pulse. Like a fireworks explosion. But this firework was so perfect. I was so star struck. It was like looking at a controlled star. There was no smoke. The absolute perfection of each burst syncing with the sound. Each burst all them synchronized in a burst like it was controlled magnetized plaza. It all was like something said to me, hey check out my perfect firework. I think I witnessed that orange star like plasma ufo right above me. I couldn't see through the ship. I couldn't speak for about a day right afterwards. oh, and as soon as it pulsed fireworks type of exploded above me I looked around quickly to see if anybody else had saw it and no one else was looking, they saw nothing. Then I looked up and the there was nothing there, no smoke. Then I looked up in the sky and it really seemed like I saw a firefly fly and turn while lit up. I couldn't tell if that was a fire white light type of firefly that was just yards from me or something way up in the sky. The burst was like lightning electricity branching perfectly each burst all forming a mandala and all synchronized with the crackling sound it made. Eah crackle each burst, billions. That was no manmade firework that exploded right above my head. This entire occurrence that happened to me has been on my mind and is now apart of me in different ways.

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.
