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.

Before the firework show started, my husband and I noticed a small white light in the shape of an orb, the altitude was higher than the fireworks and potentially the clouds. The object appeared in the sky, moved to left for 5 seconds, stopped changed color to green, then back to white. Then instantly disappeared

Driving home from school one day, I saw an odd craft flying stunningly low. It was just above the tree line. I turned off the radio so I could hear it, but no sound was coming from it. It was black and triangular, and had a bit of orange on it. Flying from the east, going west. It was flying slower than physically possible, I dont know how it stayed in the air. It couldnt have been going more than 30 mph, yet stayed airborne. It was daytime so I saw it very well, was about 50 ft in length, and only about 100 yards away from me. It disappeared behind the treeline, and shortly afterward 2 helicopters followed, also flying low but not quite as low as the craft. I want to know what it was because it was weird and awesome.

I was fishing with my sons south of Laurel ,across the bridge. Time was 1:15am. My son said, "What is that, What is that." I looked up and spotted this object, had numerous lights. You could see the shape of it, but you could also almost see through it at the same time. There was slight cloud cover, and it was below the clouds, I'm guessing maybe 2500-3500 feet above the ground. I'm gonna say it was roughly the size of a City Block. The Thing was huge, and silent. It headed to the east towards Billings. We decided to leave and went to our vehicle about 5 minutes after spotting it. There was a Laurel city cop, pulling out of Riverside park, as we were approaching our vehicle. But not sure if he seen it or not.
