The report, as filed
On my way home, I saw a ball of orange light in a starless night, traveling across the sky at a high speed. It seemed low for a normal aircraft and no pulse lights. The only light was the bright orange glow. After around five minutes of watching the unknown craft, it vanished over the tree line. I seen it directly over main street.

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.
